good morning, welcome to breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. our headlines today: the prime minister says anti—racism rallies have been

"subverted by thuggery" following clashes between some protesters and police. in bristol, demonstrators toppled a statue of a 17th century slave trader and threw it in to the harbour. it represents years of hurt and a lot of emotions and hatred that have been built up inside of us that we have internalised for years. quarantine rules have come into force, meaning most travellers arriving in the uk must self—isolate for two weeks. iamat i am at the manchester airport where, at the first time, passengers leaving this terminal will have had to have said where they are going to isolate or why they are exempt. england and manchester city forward raheem sterling backs the anti—racism protests across the uk and tells the bbc racism must be stopped. this is something that has been happening for years and years and just like the pandemic, we want to see it, we want to find a solution

to stop it. cloudy for most of us with some bright and sunny skies and a few sharp showers, especially south—west of wales and south—west england and feeling cool in the breeze along the south—east coast. i will have all of the details coming up. it's monday the 8th ofjune. our top story: borisjohnson has said anti—racism rallies over the weekend were "subverted by thuggery", following clashes between some protesters and police in central london. meanwhile the home secretary branded activists in bristol "utterly disgraceful" for destroying a statue of a slave trader. but bristol's mayor said it's "important to listen to those who found the statue to represent an affront to humanity". sean dilley has the details. a grand adornment to a slave trader stands no more, torn down by

protesters in bristol, angry at all it stood for. it represents years of oppression, years of hurt and just a lot of emotion and hatred that has been built up inside of us, we have internalised it for years, and that coming down today, hopefully signifies a change, hopefully we sent a message notjust to everyone in the uk or the usa, worldwide. edward colston was revered in bristol for its generation —— his generosity to a city. he left his fortune to good causes. a fortune he amassed by transporting and trading in slaves. now these protesters have forcibly removed his likeness, they hopein forcibly removed his likeness, they hope in the process to consign his legacy to a watery grave. the actions have been condemned by the home secretary. that is utterly disgraceful and that speaks to the a cts disgraceful and that speaks to the acts of disorder, public disorder that actually have now become a distraction from the cause in which people are actually protesting

about. and it is right actually that police follow up on that and make sure that justice is police follow up on that and make sure thatjustice is taken, undertaken, with those individuals who are responsible for such disorderly and lawless behaviour.m the capital, this statue of wartime prime minister winston churchill was also targeted. as with the previous day public protests, the mood change as the drew mcdade drew to a close. —— day it drew to a close. officers we re —— day it drew to a close. officers were replaced by those in right year. eight officers were injured. borisjohnson year. eight officers were injured. boris johnson told year. eight officers were injured. borisjohnson told his year. eight officers were injured. boris johnson told his followers that protests had been subverted by thuggery which betrayed their cause. the metropolitan police say that the majority of protesters passed through peacefully. elsewhere in the country, a similar peaceful atmospheres. we are doing the best we can today to make sure

everyone is safe. it is important to me to make sure that while this was going ahead today that it was going to be as safe as it could be. in warwickshire, a busy stretch of the m6 motorway was closed off shortly after 6pm as protesters occupied the carriageway en route to carpentry. the government says it will support peaceful protests so long as social distancing rules will be observed with police investigation is under way, they say the minority of those involved in violence and disorder should expect to account for their actions. sean dilley, bbc news. our political correspondent, iain watson is in westminster this morning. iain, these are strong words from the prime minister? yes, particularly struck by his strongly worded suite on this where he said some of these demonstrations had been "subverted by thuggery" — "and they are a portrayal of the

cause they want to serve". they have a right to protest peacefully, he said, but they have no right to attack the police. we had pretty —— priti patel who said she was sickened by the levels of violence she had seen. many of the protests had been peaceful. nonetheless, they have been marred i specific incidents, particularly that pulling down of the statue in bristol, the slave trader edward colson, she said that was an act of sheer vandalism. indeed, some politicians across the political spectrum that it should have been a democratic decision by the people of this talk as to whether that statue remained was removed. interestingly, the shadow justice secretary david langley was pointing out that there was racism in the uk as well as the us and that this moment, these demonstrations, this moment, these demonstrations, this level of anger and frustration we have seen on the streets should now be seen as a moment of

change for the uk now be seen as a moment of change forthe uk and now be seen as a moment of change for the uk and uk politics. iain, thank you very much and we will talk to you throughout the programme this morning, thank you. some people arriving in the uk will now have to self—isolate for iii—days as part of the government's plans to slow the spread of the coronavirus. there are some exemptions to the scheme, but most travellers will have to provide their contact details or be fined. our transport correspondent, tom burridge has the details. leaving the uk from an airport like manchester has of late already been a different kind of experience but, from today, before your temperature is checked in departures, you will have to fill in a form online, stating where you will self—isolate for two weeks when you return. the two week quarantine period will definitely have an impact on us. you know, my partner works. he wouldn't be able to get extra time off. i'm a school teacher so i am limited to the time off that i do actually have, so it would definitely

have a big impact, the 14 days. ten days abroad and then two weeks quarantine will be no good. i do not think the facemasks and gloves too much on a flight would bother us, it would be more at the other end, kind of, what sort of distancing measures were in, for the kids, you know, if they can't play with the other kids, yeah, it defeat the point of the holiday, really. i certainly wouldn't feel safe travelling right now. it is a terrible idea. i think that the restrictions were already lifted far too quickly and putting people at risk. so we should not be travelling right now. the quarantine applies to most people arriving in the uk. only arrivals from the republic of ireland are exempt, as well as certain professions, like oil and gas workers, and lorry drivers. the enforcement rules depend on where you live. if you breach of the rules in england and northern ireland, then you could face a £1000 fine. in scotland, the penalty is £480, but the maximum fine for repeat offenders is £5,000. the enforcement rules in

wales are still not clear. at the moment, a pretty small number of flights go in and out of our airports each day, but airlines are desperate to crank up their schedules in time for the summer, and that is why the travel sector is demanding that deals are done with countries with low infection rates, so travellers from there are exempt too. we think, as the airline community, that there's a decent number of countries, mainly across europe but further afield, where there is sufficient passenger demand. so we now need the government to really with a degree of urgency, work with foreign governments to set up these air bridges as quickly as possible because otherwise we are not going to have a summer season here. now, the parent company of british airways has launched legal proceedings. it claims the government has failed to identify a valid justification for

a blanket quarantine. it has the support of easyjet and ryanair, and dozens of travel and hospitality companies. but the government says, the new restrictions will limit the risk of new cases being imported and it argues it will help stop a second wave of the virus. tom burridge, bbc news. that is some of the detail of what will happen with those new quarantine rules. our business correspondent sean farrington is at manchester airport this morning. sean, how will these rules work? the idea would be, well, ordinarily, this would not be a arryn place at manchester airport, they would be plenty of passengers going in and out —— darren —— barren place. there are ten flights departing today and

ordinarily they would be about 600 flights in and out. this is the different that airports like these would have to deal with right now. the people who are passing through arrivals and leaving the airport, they would have to go to to the address they have given when they fill in that form, where they say they will suffer isolate or they will have to share why they are exempt —— self isolate was not even though there were fewer slights going in and out, the airports still have fixed costs and that is why so manyjobs are being put at risk at the moment because this situation is not sustainable. this morning we are hearing the boss of heathrow saying that 25,000 jobs there could be at risk. the gmb union that represents many workers across the aviation industry is thousands ofjobs could be at risk in the regions, particularly in the sector. this situation of so few people flying isn't sustainable for the industry and many in the industry think that these quarantine measures are holding them back from actually being able to move back nearer to the normal situation that they might

have seen many months ago. over the course of the morning, i will be speaking to bosses here at manchester airport trying to play spot the passenger is there is an arrival, i think in an hour's time, we might see one or two people passing through at that point. we have broadcast from here before where it has been busy, people going on holiday, business travellers everywhere, it is just not the case this morning. eerily quiet. small weddings and civil partnerships are allowed to take part outdoors in northern ireland from today. larger retailers, including car showrooms and electrical shops, will also be opening up for business again. vulnerable people advised to shield will be also be allowed outdoors. the prince of wales has praised teachers and schools for "going above and beyond for their pupils" during the pandemic. in a video message, he also paid tribute to parents saying he couldn't imagine how difficult the lockdown has been for young families to adapt to. pa rents parents have done an

astonishing job in such trying circumstances and to see teachers and schools going above and beyond for their pupils in response to this pandemic has been in many instances are quite remarkable. finding creative ways to teach lessons remotely and even making sure the most vulnerable children do not go without meals, we all owe them a huge debt of gratitude. a 17—year—old has become became an online sensation after she grew an interest in tadpoles during lockdown while isolating with herfamily in northern ireland. hannah's daily videos of her tens of thousands of tadpoles have proved a big hit and attracted more than half—a—million followers on the social media platform tiktok, leading to a deal with a us influencer agency. she is also trying to give information to other people. a p pa re ntly information to other people. apparently she feeds them boiled lettuce apparently she feeds them boiled lettu ce a nd apparently she feeds them boiled lettuce and spinach daily and as a rule of thumb,

she goes by four tadpoles per litre of water. she has only lost three over the course of a few weeks and has a burial for each one. allan where is she releasing the frogs? i haven't quite got that far, louise. morning, you are watching it first. —— make brea kfast. dentists in england are able to reopen today, although not all are taking the opportunity. while some are welcoming patients again, other practices blame a lack of ppe or staying shut. danjohnson is at one dental practice in essex that is opening its doors. lots of work to do here, trying to work out will actually start seeing patients again. there has been virtually no dentistry since the end of march and restarting has been really difficult. they got

to have measures in place. this is one treatment room which has been given over to just start putting on protective equipment. that treatment room on that side will before off the protective equipped wind. that's another treatment room that can't be used. —— protective equipment off. sanjay is the boss here. give us an idea of the work to get ready? funds of work. we only had the guidelines on thursday. new policies and standards and protocols will all of that, we got to train the whole team ina that, we got to train the whole team in a completely new way of working, new patient journey, new patient flow, take of equipment as you just said, put it back on, and so much training has had to go into that. we had to get a lot of new ppe, and that's been quite difficult to source. and really

expensive. as it stands, we cannot function as a business if you have to continue bearing the cost of the ppe. we are working in good faith to restart today and hope for that the government, the nhs will sort of help us out with the ppe in the end. we will come to that but if i am one of your patients, is it realistic? when i going to get to see you? it's absolutely not realistic. we have a whole backlog of patients, there are emergency patients to be seen, people in discomfort. realistically, with the current protocols and procedures we have, we need to see 160- 200 procedures we have, we need to see 160— 200 patients per day in normal times and now, about a handful. we have to prioritise those who are in urgent care. as a patient, i know it's frustrating but please just

hold your horses a little bit. just so we can hold your horses a little bit. just so we can get through this backlog of patients and hopefully we can resume routeing dentistry soon enough. and you think the current new conditions mean dentistry is not even viable for you ? new conditions mean dentistry is not even viable for you? absolutely not. if we do an aerosol generating procedure, we've got to leave the room vacant for procedure, we've got to leave the room vacant for an procedure, we've got to leave the room vacant for an hour. that is most of the stuff we do. we can't see the same number of patients we would otherwise. thank you, sanjay, we appreciate you having us here this morning especially when things are difficult. we were told dentistry would resume but it will bea dentistry would resume but it will be a while before you get normal routine treatments. thank you very much. let's talk about that as well. dr milad shadrooh is a dentist in ascot — his practice won't be opening this morning. why you not

opening? can i say, thank you to the bbc for having me on, i haven't woken up this early in about 11 weeks so it's a great warmup. for us, we're all delighted as an industry open up again. the decision to close was something we we re decision to close was something we were forced to do in the ii decision to close was something we were forced to do in the 11 weeks of lockdown has been frustrating for us and our patients. we heard horror stories about people having to take things into their own hands. to open is good news but the key thing is safety, safety for the patients coming in and safety for the team. when you go to see the dentist, you will be probably walking into the safest environment out there because we are already a safe place because of infection control measures. so there's been a couple of extra things we've had to do, new policies and procedures, new levels of ppe and procedures, new levels of ppe and all of this came out officially about four days ago. friday,

saturday, sunday to implement everything. that's where a lot of actresses have struggled with these new things but it's not because of a lack of desire to open or a lack of organisation on our part, it's a lack of receiving these guidelines for operating procedures in a timely manner to be able to implement them. we also heard from another dentist talking about aerosol generated procedures. what are those, for those who don't know? anything that creates an aerosol. drilling, using the ultrasonic cleaner that the hygienist may use, those other things we are having to defer for a while. and that's been the big worry, that this aerosol gets out and there needs to be periods of time where we can clean, and that's why our return to work is not going to be business as usual. we found out the same time as everybody

else. the return to work is not going to be business as usual. when you think you will be open and what kind of patients are you going to be able to treat? for us, going to be opening next monday the 15th, as long as we feel we've covered everything and done all the staff training, and we got the ppe. we are now having to buy it all back. it is a bit difficult. but that doesn't mean we're not all striving to do it. things are going to be different and for our patients to know that, we are on skeleton staff, so to all the patients out there, please be patient. we are working really hard to seeing you because we want to go back to seeing everyone of you. you are very bright and cheery for someone who's just woken up. are very bright and cheery for someone who'sjust woken up. i've had lots of coffee. a quick look at

the front pages of the newspapers. "quarantine won't work, home office concedes," is the headline on the front page of the daily telegraph. the paper reports that travel plans risk descending into "chaos" as new restrictions on people arriving into the uk come into force today. the government has denied the story. the picture shows protestors in bristol, throwing a statue of a slave trader into the harbour. the mirror's front page has the same image calling the protest a ‘march for change'. also leading on the protests across the uk, the daily mail's headline is "lawless and reckless". the paper reports comments by home secretary priti patel condemning the toppling of the colston statue. the paper also pictures a memorial to winston churchill in london which was defaced. the metro also has a picture of the protests but leads on the story that uk daily death tolls have fallen to their lowest level since

lockdown began. a young lady on tiktok who's picked up a young lady on tiktok who's picked up over half a million tiktok followers by showing pictures of tadpoles she is collected and people are asking what she does with the tadpoles. hannah apparently has already hatched a plan to release them in ponds and streams within a two mile radius of her home in batches so as not to overwhelm any in the area. extraordinary work she's done, as well as keeping them all alive. people are found it's very peaceful to watch them. tadpoles are lovely. so many people doing new things during lockdown. this is something i am guilty of, i bought a paddleboard. apparently paddleboard stocks have been drying up paddleboard stocks have been drying up as paddleboard stocks have been drying up as new paddleboard stocks have been drying up as new fans abort them, customers

have been buying five times as many as kayaks as they did last summer. a p pa re ntly as kayaks as they did last summer. apparently it's really good view. she said this person i spoke to, people looking to take up the sport should have a reasonable level of witness because strength is required to get up and stay up, particularly if there are strong currents and they should be good swimmers as well. it's interesting. lots of people doing different sports. one person sitting down. do you wear a wetsuit? no, if you fall in... you've got to accept it. if you fall m, you've got to accept it. if you fall in, very seriously, you can get cold water shock. we got a very good video on bbc first. somebody did it in the sea live on

air. a woman bought a cottage in wales for £59, backin bought a cottage in wales for £59, back in 1997, it had no mains water or electricity and it's now worth £450,000. have a look. that's what it looked like when she bought it. 1997 and now it's worth nearly half a million quid and there it is in all its glory and when she bought it and local said they paid too much for it, it is in ceredigion. this young man, jacob, trying to escape a dog, he fell 14 feet down a well and survived six days. with no food before he was rescued. a farmer looking for grass to his cows that is shut and alerted other people who

managed to get him out. really sad news in the papers, march up in, one of our bbc colleagues, his wife sadly died of cancer on the weekend, she is only 44 years old, we would like to send our love and support to him. i know mark really well and last year my dad was dying those with cancer and he was on the phone giving me help, offering me advice, talking about how his wife sarah had gone through the process twice, the cancer had come back last year so he was so supportive and it must be really ha rd to was so supportive and it must be really hard to him and his young family to go through what is going through so all the love from everybody. one of the uk's leading addiction charities has said they are expecting an increase in demand for its services when the lockdown ends. research from action on addiction and yougov has found that a significant number of people in recovery have relapsed during the pandemic. those with drug and alcohol addictions are amongst some of the most severely

affected as michael cowan reports. research given to the bbc by action on addiction taken from a small sample of respondents suggests almost 40% of those in recovery prior to lock down have relapsed or seen recurrence in an active behaviour. a quarter of adults with an addiction but not in recovery prior to coronavirus say that increased the amount of alcohol they are drinking since lockdown began while 24% of those surveyed said they will need treatment or support to resolve their issues when the

lock down ends. lock down can be difficult for many of us both physically and mentally but for some with active addictions or in recovery, this time can be particularly challenging. sophie is 25 years old. she's been in recovery from an alcohol addiction since october last year but lockdown has tested her resolve to its limits. i've had one slipup since lockdown, just because of the boredom, the isolation. you got extra time to think. what impact has social media had on your drinking? always seeing people on snapchat, instagram, facebook, drinking. is there a support network you can reach out to? so my drug and alcohol counsellor and family and friends, tell them that you are craving at drinking, tell them that you feel like you want to drink. one place

that has managed to stay open through this crisis is clouds house, a treatment centre in wiltshire. anya sparks is there treatment manager. you have continued providing your services during lockdown. how have you done that? we have really clear free admission protocols around self isolation periods, we issue ppd. you see many referrals as a direct result of lock down? what we may see is almost the opposite of that, is that coronavirus in a way has sort of stopped people from reaching out. i think it's important to continue to reach out in whichever way works for you. the government pledged £335,000 to support specialist addiction charities through the pandemic but with many people expected to need help post lockdown, it's unclear in the long—term are that demand will be managed and if the government spending review can

provide further funding. michael cowan, bbc news. details of organisations offering information and support with addiction are available at bbc.co.uk/actionline, or you can call for free, at any time to hear recorded information on 08000155 947. carol was supposed to be with us at 627 but we are a minute late, sorry. good morning, everybody. a lot happening with the weather this week. beautiful weather watchers picture sent in from salcombe in devon. drops of rain and heavy showers in devon, they will ease for a time but back again. i pressure firmly in charge. dry and bright. some sunshine around. lighter winds than we saw at the weekend. this knows of high pressure stretching up

across the uk, not much in the way of wind and breezy along the north sea coastline. a bit coolerfor you today. a lot of cloud to start the day. showers across parts of south wales, south—west england as well. they will ease this morning but come back this afternoon and also thundery. honour to showers in northern ireland stop they could clip the north sea coastline. showers and drizzle clearing. a lot of cloud but some sunny breaks and temperatures a bit below average. once again, we will see the showers feed in the south—west but clear spells, quite a bit of cloud, and it will be thinking across western scotla nd will be thinking across western scotland and northern ireland and later, rain will come in. not quite as cold night is the one that has just gone. you will notice the wind

is south—westerly in august cloud and rain sweeping west to east across scotland. for northern ireland, england and wales, wanted to showers, across northern england, wales, central and southern england but for most, dry and large areas of cloud with some sunny breaks. as we had on, here comes the fun. east across scotland. across england and wales, we start to see low pressure develop. a bit of a change of foot. rain across scotland, here it comes heading south across england and also wales. taking in some heavy bursts at times, the odd rumble of thunder. ahead of it, a few sharp showers. temperatures again, nothing to write home about stop by the time we get to thursday, overnight we see this area of low

pressure start to really deepen as it pushes south across thursday and we will have some persistent rain across the south—west. there is thursday's picture, a keen north—easterly wind, cold along the north sea coastline once again and the persistent rain retreating around that area of low pressure across the channel islands in south—west england and wales and we got another feature coming in south—west england and wales and we got anotherfeature coming in behind which will also introduce some rain. went to england and wales, and dry for you, bits and pieces of cloud which could reduce the odd shower but the most, dry and hires between 12 and 18. dan and luke, the weather is all over the place. is that the bad weather gone for good? is all over the place. is that the bad weather gone for good ?|j is all over the place. is that the bad weather gone for good? i am sure it will be back. it will be u nsettled.

hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. it's 6:32. we'll bring you all the latest news and sport in a moment, but also on breakfast this morning: we'll be live in northern ireland, where the easing of lockdown measures means you can now get married outdoors. a double amputee, 5—year—old tony hudgell is aiming to walk 10km to raise money for charity. he'll give us an update on how he's doing since he was last on breakfast. he should have been playing some of the biggest music festivals in the country — we'll hear from the musician who's back at work as an nhs nurse. good morning, here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news. borisjohnson has said protestors responsible for violence during anti—racism demonstrations in cities including london and bristol will be held to account. the home secretary branded activists in bristol "utterly disgraceful"

for destroying a statue of a slave trader, the cities mayor said he'd couldn't condone criminal damage, but he understood the protesters. meanwhile in london, the prime minister said the protests had been "subverted by thuggery" after the statue of sir winston churchill was sprayed with graffiti. some people arriving in the uk will now have to self—isolate for 14—days as part of the government's plans to slow the spread of the coronavirus. the travel quarantine applies to arrivals by land sea and air from all countries apart from the republic of ireland — people could be fined if they don't follow the rules. the aviation industry has criticised the measures — but the home secretary says they are "proportionate" and being implemented "at the right time". small weddings and civil partnerships are allowed to take place outdoors in northern ireland from today. larger retailers, including car showrooms and electrical shops, will also be opening up for business again. vulnerable people advised to shield will be also be allowed outdoors. now it's time for our regular chat with a gp.

this morning we're talking to drjamie parkerfrom nottingham. good morning, doctor parker. nice to have you. can we start with a question we have had in from a viewer called alan, talking about vulnerable people in northern ireland. he says he is 12 weeks of shielding ends next monday for doctors that mean he has to do is follow the general rules on social distancing, or as vulnerable person, doi distancing, or as vulnerable person, do i need to do more than that? alan says. we are talking about the highest risk, those people who are extremely vulnerable and more likely to become seriously unwell if they get coronavirus. i think you said listeners from northern ireland so i think the situation might be slightly different there than here where i understand the rules will be revealed on the 13th ofjune. i would say if you are in the shielding group, there is a reason for that. you are extremely vulnerable with the conditions that put you in that group so even

if you are advised that shielding is over, i would be very, very cautious about going out to follow any social distancing but the situation in northern ireland might be different to that here in england. we have been live at a dental surgery already this morning. some who can reopen from today, we have spoken to a dentist who is not reopening today. they have been going to —— through similar stages, trying to adapt. what is it like at your surgery at the moment? we have had our front surgery at the moment? we have had ourfront doors surgery at the moment? we have had our front doors physically closed for the last 11 weeks. we have been seeing patients in the car part or bringing them inappropriately —— car park. realising increase, more routine work, and increased number of nursing appointments, so we have been putting in lots of works to try

and see how we will safely open the front doors and maintain safety for patients and staff. the dentists have been physically closed for ten weeks so i don't envy them this week. i know there are variations in the numbers, particularly at a weekend but with the number of those who died of coronavirus being actually below 100 for the first time ina actually below 100 for the first time in a long time, how do you gauge where we are in terms of how we're dealing with the virus the moment? i think that is a difficult question to answer. for many weeks, we have been dealing with issues that are not related to coronavirus, people with long—standing health concerns. we have been asking people

to get in touch with us so for the last few weeks it has been mainly people without coronavirus issues. i don't expect it will suddenly change on the basis of that. and i don't know what the r number is in your area, but is that are concern do you think and will it have to be addressed? i think it is a concern. i think monitoring how right it is in the area and some of the local lockdowns that the governments have talked about may come into place. i don't think it will be the case but if there is an area where the spread is high, there is a high risk of spreading it, the measures will have to be taken. i think this is why it is absolutely key that people realising and continue to follow the social distancing stop social distancing is our main weapon against the spread of

the coronavirus is that we don't have a vaccine or a treatment and the other measures such as test and trace are just the icing on the cake above social distancing. it is key for people to follow the social distancing advice. i have a question came in from mark. interesting you talk about social distancing because he wonders what you think about the quarantine measures that have come into place now. are they likely to make a difference as well?|j into place now. are they likely to make a difference as well? i really don't know the answer to that but i would say that people coming in from other countries, the look rates in other countries, the look rates in other countries, the look rates in other countries, it would seem that we might not actually be the main risk but clearly we don't want to be bringing the virus into the country. iam not bringing the virus into the country. i am not sure about the two weeks, it is not for me to comment as a gp, but obviously i think we have to mitigate as much as we can against risks and

reduce the chance of that r number going up again.|j risks and reduce the chance of that r number going up again. i know you say you are dealing with a number of issues for patients outside of coronavirus and again this morning, lots of questions about the issue of mental health. have some of those people come to see you, has that been a concern for some of those people? or other related health issues that they haven't been able to deal with in the last few weeks? it is both. there have been a lot of people who have really struggled with their mental health and we have had a number of calls from patients about their mental health and just about their mental health and just about their mental health. i think we have done our best to be able to support those people. obviously people with long—standing health conditions are more likely to have issues as well so it has been a difficult few weeks and months for a lot of people. really good to talk to you this morning. doctorjamie parker. i know quarantine is not

your area of expertise but i appreciate you answering or trying to a nswer appreciate you answering or trying to answer mark's question and also the question from alan who is shielding until next week. 12 weeks of shielding. thank you for trying to address some of those viewer's questions this morning. we are talking about reaction to the black lives matter rallies. that is also being talked about in sport isn't it, sally? a very interesting interview coming up later from raheem stirling. the rallies across the uk on the weekend, the manchester and england forward he has been the butt of racism throughout his career has told the bbc that racism, just like coronavirus, needs an urgent solution. the only disease right now is the racism we are fighting. i think right now, this is the most important thing is, at this moment in time, because this is something

that's been happening for years and years and just like the pandemic, we want to find some solutions to stop it. and at the same time, this is what all these protesters are doing. they are trying to find a solution and a way to stop the injustice that they are saying and they are fighting for their cause. raheem sterling speaking to the bbc‘s newsnight programme there. we'll have more from him in the next hour and you can see the full interview at 10:45 tonight on bbc 2. now it's the start of a huge week for manchester city. their appeal against a two—year ban from all european competitions starts a bit later at the court of arbitration for sport. lawyers will face a panel of three judges in a three—day video conference. so how did it get to this stage? the club were handed the punishment in february after it was deemed they had broken uefa financial fair play rules. it was found that city had overstated sponsorship revenue between 2012 and 2016. that resulted in a two—year ban from european football along with a 27 million pound

fine. the club have always denied any wrongdoing. you can't continue to potentially break these regulations and win premier league trophies and play one in europe and expect to satisfy the uefa benchmark requirements, but that said, they have brought a very, very attractive style of football to the league. they have undoubtedly with uefa, with their mission to improve the brand. this is going to swing either way and could have u ntold swing either way and could have untold ramifications for both parties if it falls against them. the practicalities of re starting the premier league are now being finalised, as the mayor of liverpool says he's changed his mind about the merseyside derby being played in the city. it's due to take place at goodison park a week on sunday, but there was talk the game — along with other liverpool matches — could be moved to neutral venues after fears of fans congregating at stadiums. however, joe anderson now says that following discussions with both clubs, he expects fans to

follow guidelines and stay away. trainer aidan o'brien says he's delighted after claiming the 1000 guineas for the fourth time in five years as "love" won the second british classic of the year at newmarket. the 4—1 shot, ridden by ryan moore, charged through the centre to move well clear of 12—1 chance cloak of spirits. unbeaten 11—4 favourite quadrilateral, daughter of the iconic frankel, finished third. love really does conquer all, get it? and finally, many of you will have been familiar with home schooling during the lockdown, with the bbc‘s bitesize service a key part of the day. well, students studying spanish have received a special treat with a famous face on hand to help. latsko. hello, everyone. hola. iam

sergio aguero from manchester city. all of the kids who are learning at home in the morning, keep it up. now iam going home in the morning, keep it up. now i am going to teach you all how to learn to count to 12 in spanish. ok? one is uno. two is dos. three is tres. check out the bbc, a great way to learn. i think there are going to be lots of kids learning to speak to —— count to 12 in spanish because of that. good morning, mr sergio aguero. it really does work when you get somebody like that who can use their skills and obvious ability to speak a number of languages to help out parents who are finding it a little bit difficult at the moment! it is about making it fun, isn't it? kind of tricking the kids into not noticing they are learning, i think

thatis noticing they are learning, i think that is a perfect example. despite criticism from politicians and business leaders, plus a possible legal challenge, the government's quarantine policy comes into force today. sean is at manchester airport for us. good morning. any passengers? we've seen one maybe waiting for a departure going into the terminal. normally there would be spanish phrase books galore, people jetsetting for a holiday. 600 flights, the manchester airport will be expecting to get through. about 196 be expecting to get through. about 1% of passengers they'd normally get. it's quiet here, we may see some arrivals coming through. it's not just the airport. some arrivals coming through. it's notjust the airport. when we talk about the wider impact of the industry, these poured cabdrivers, some of them have been queueing up overnight waiting for their first pick—up. why aren't they going to the city centre? they said

because there is no work there either, seeing if they maybe get some of those arrivals. what changing today? let's have a look at a few of the new rules that are coming in. first off, if you are one of the people flying into the uk, you're to have to fill in a form and when you do, you're going to have to say where you're going to have to say where you're going to self isolate and if you're going to self isolate and if you don't fill in that form, you could be liable for a fine of up to £100 in england, and if you don't actually follow through with that self isolation and put on the form the address that you're going to when there are those random spotchecks being put in place, you could also be defined at some point in the future. in england, that could be up to £1000, scotland, £480 but that could go up to £5,000 for repeat offenders. overall you need to make sure you and you need to stay there for 14 days.

finally, there are many other things you need to be taking into account you need to be taking into account you need to make sure once you've self isolated, that you state the address of 14 days. there are exemptions. anyone arriving from ireland, the channel islands and the isle of man won't have to fill in the form and self isolate, you still need to go through some of those procedures. there are lots ofjobs on the list, about 41 other exemptions, people who are travelling for work, fruit pickers, nuclear power station workers, those kind of things, who will have to make sure they're letting the right authorities know that they do not need to self isolate on those checks will be in place and those checks will be in place and those checks will be in place in the weeks to come. i thought they might have been some passengers, and there are a few issues right across the industry that a lot of businesses have. some of the main airlines, the likes of british airways, easyjet,

ryanair, they've started legal proceedings, writing to the government to say these quarantine measures that have been put in place today are unjustified, illogical and there are a few concerns. they think the measures for those people who are having to isolate to our arriving into the uk who terminals like these and having to self isolate, potentially getting those fines. those measures are harsherfor people day—to—day, who may have to self isolate if they have symptoms or diagnosed. test positive for coronavirus. they think that is harsh and they think why are we preventing people from travelling into the uk from other countries that have lower infection rates than the uk and that is one of the reason air bridges we have discussed, and very much in discussions when the government industry, this idea of having an agreement between the uk government and other ones where there is an agreement the quarantine measures would not need to be put in place when passengers arrive in that country. that idea of an air bridges

popular in the industry because they would hope that would alleviate some of the struggles, the costs they have now, they still need to pay for this to be up and running. many things the industry would like to see. i will be talking to the boss of manchester airport group to see what they think the effect on jobs will be. heathrow said 25,000 jobs could be at risk and what they need to see put in place for things to improve. so much to get through this morning, thank you. lockdown has thrown many wedding plans into question across much of the uk, but there's good news for couples wanting to say "i do" in northern ireland. from today, marriages will have to take place outside and only 10 people will be able to attend. our ireland correspondent chris page is at one venue in county down this morning. good morning. this would be the height of the wedding season

normally, now we are moving into june, july the couples have had to put their plans on hold and really up put their plans on hold and really up untilafew put their plans on hold and really up until a few days ago, they weren't sure whether they would be able to get married at all but certainly here in northern ireland, some couples are deciding to move ahead with the dream day because outdoor weddings of up to ten people are now allowed. this is finnebrogue woods —— finnebrogue woods, a lovely spotin woods —— finnebrogue woods, a lovely spot in county down, this is where the couples make their views and this is the beautiful lakeside. a fantastic base. i'm joined by ed lindsay who owns it. good morning. outdoor weddings of up to ten people omitted from today, what difference is that going to make for you? it's a start anyway, we are delighted things are going to move on the right direction. we do have a great

outdoor space that we can welcome brides and grooms to say their vows up brides and grooms to say their vows up in our ceremony site with a small reception. we got a very flexible structure, a scandinavian tepee where we can have the signs open so we really do have a good outdoor solution. what sort of work have you been doing to make sure the restrictions are in place, you can make the day as special as possible? doing all the no —— all the normal precautions, making sure the loo units are getting cleaned, having sanitising stations and other stuff that everybody is doing, but flexible teepees where we can still really have a lovely, romantic, special outdoor ceremony that everybody is safe, have a good time and just really enjoy the outdoors and just really enjoy the outdoors and obviously is a special day for the bride and groom. how have the last week few weeks

been for you? it's been very tricky. we had basically all our may, june july, all of august was post phone, so we're looking forward to more positive news, hoping we can get going again as soon as we can. over the border in the irish republic, more restrictions are being eased and the government has actually sped up and the government has actually sped up their exit plans so as things stand, it will be opening at the end of its month in northern ireland three weeks later. would you like to see ministers and the devolved government here accelerating things? absolutely, it's crucial for us to make good of the season that's remaining. and if they follow the south, we can get going, more positive vibes. welcome people here to finnebrogue again in more normal

circumstances. a few other changes in northern ireland, large retailers, car showrooms are opening. join us again later on. we will be talking to one of the brides getting married here in the next few days. she must be very excited, we look forward to that. a live bride. it's nowhere near back to normal but there are a few little steps and stages along the way. at the weekend we met 5—year—old tony, who as a new born baby had to have his legs amputated in order to save his life. he set himself the challenge of walking 10km in a month, with the help of prosthetics and crutches, to raise money for the hospital that treated him. later we'll catch up with tony and his family, but first let's have a reminder of his story so far. this story really touched us this morning. yes, wonderful young man, his name is tony and when he was newborn baby, he had to have his legs amputated in order to save

his life but that has not stopped him. it's been one week since five—year—old tony hodge all sent out on a mission. he wants to walk ten kilometres in a month with help of prosthetics and crotches to raise £500,000 for the children's hospital which saved his life. we saw captain tom walking in the garden with his frame and tony had a friend like that and he said, i could do that and then we set this challenge and raised the money for that which saved his life. evelina. we want to raise money, £500. isn't that right, mum? tony's mom told the story on line and the money came in. within days had gone far beyond his target. on saturday he joined us with his pa rents. on saturday he joined us with his parents. tony, i don't know if you know this but on your fundraising page now, instead of £500, you've raised £559 plus 22,000. let's go.

tonyis raised £559 plus 22,000. let's go. tony is not ready to stop walking anytime soon and is picked up some high—profile supporters. so far he's completed 2.8 kilometres and raised more money than his family ever thought was possible. how strong is that son of yours? incredibly strong. he just keeps going. and he hasn't stopped. he continuing with his walk and right now, can give you the total? the fundraising stands at £181,000. great news, we will see tony and his parents a bit later on and find out where that money is going to go and what difference it's to make. thanks for all your wonderful bbc request support. amazing. carol is with us andi support. amazing. carol is with us and i can see snow. what a clever wee man. it is snow

on the hills of scotla nd wee man. it is snow on the hills of scotland in the highlands but you can see blue sky, this is achnasheen, but we're going to variable amounts of cloud everywhere, drier and brighter to start the week but the end of the week is going to be a bit opposite. the nose of high pressure dominating the weather today, keeping things fairly quiet. a lot of cloud around and we've also got some rain and some showers. some light rain and drizzle in the south—east clearing. some showers which have been heavy across the south—western wales, they will ease and come back later. some of them clipping the north sea coast we have got a breeze so it will feel cooler along the coastline. they could also be thundery. temperatures a bit disappointing actually at this stage. below average. nine degrees and lurk to about

eight encarta. through this evening and overnight, we will eventually see those showers fade. clear skies again, we will eventually see those showers fade. clearskies again, quite we will eventually see those showers fade. clear skies again, quite a lot of cloud and thickening across western scotland and northern ireland. heralding the arrival of the new weather front. ireland. heralding the arrival of the new weatherfront. not ireland. heralding the arrival of the new weather front. not quite as chilly as the nightjust gone. freezing in parts of the highlands ireland but you can see the difference tomorrow morning, not quite as cold. tomorrow we got this weather front coming in from the west. it's going to be noticeably windy. fairly light rain moving from west to east across scotland. at times, clipping northern ireland. or england and wales, like today. quite a bit of cloud times but now and again, some glimpses of the sunshine. parts of wales in central and southern england. as we move from tuesday to wednesday, watch

other weather front does move across scotland. the other half of it moves south across england and also wales. that means on wednesday morning. and also down towards the south—west. also showers are headed across the south—east of england. all of these could be heavy at times. as you push down towards the south. an area of low pressure starts to deepen. we will see persistent rain coming across the south—west of england. look at those isobars. that's a keen wind coming from the north sea. the northerly or north—easterly as it comes in. persistent rain rotating around the area of low pressure across the south—western quarter of the uk. behind that, another system coming in, bringing more rain which could potentially be a bit lighter but the northern ireland and

scotland, looking at drier conditions, sunny skies coming through but still areas of cloud. on thursday, 12 in the north to 17 or 18 as we push down towards the south but it will feel cooler than this. that call the weather is not going to last. we will start to change the wind direction and import human out the weekend. more on that later but the weekend. more on that later but the headlines are next.

good morning, welcome to breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. our headlines today: the prime minister says anti—racism rallies have been "subverted by thuggery" after protesters clash with police and vandalise a statue of winston churchill. in bristol, demonstrators toppled a statue of a 17th century slave trader and threw it in to the harbour. it represents years of hurt and a lot of emotions and hatred that have been built up inside of us that we have internalised for years. quarantine rules have come into force, meaning most travellers arriving in the uk must self—isolate for two weeks. england and manchester city forward raheem sterling backs protests across the uk and tells the bbc racism must be stopped. this is something that has been happening for years and years and just like the pandemic, we want to find something, a solution to stop

it. it's monday the 8th ofjune. our top story: borisjohnson has said protestors responsible for violence during the anti—racism demonstrations over the weekend will be held to account, after a small number clashed with police in central london. meanwhile the home secretary branded activists in bristol "utterly disgraceful" for destroying a statue of a slave trader. but bristol's mayor said it's "important to listen to those who found the statue to represent an affront to humanity". sean dilley has the details. a grand adornment to a slave trader stands no more, torn down by protesters in bristol, angry at all it symbolises. that statue represents years of oppression, it represents years of hurt and just a lot of emotion and hatred that has been built up inside of us, we've internalised it for years, and that coming down today, hopefully signifies change, hopefully we've sent a message not just to everyone in the uk or the usa,

worldwide. edward colston was historically revered in bristol for his generosity to a city he called home. when he died in 1721, he left his fortune to good causes. a fortune he amassed by transporting and trading in slaves. now these protesters have forcibly removed his likeness, they hope in the process to consign his legacy to a watery grave. the actions have been condemned by the home secretary. that is utterly disgraceful and that speaks to the acts of disorder, public disorder that actually have now become a distraction from the cause in which people are actually protesting about. and it's right actually that police follow up on that and make sure thatjustice is taken, undertaken, with those individuals that are responsible for such disorderly and lawless behaviour. in the capital, this statue of wartime prime minister winston churchill was also targeted. as with the previous day's protests, the mood changed as the day drew

to a close. police officers in less protective uniforms were replaced by public order specialists, wearing riot gear. by the end of the day, eight officers had been injured and 12 arrests had been made. the prime minister borisjohnson told his twitter followers that protests had been "subverted by thuggery" which betrayed their cause. chanting: being black is not a crime! the metropolitan police say the majority of protesters passed through the capital peacefully. elsewhere in the country, a similar peaceful atmosphere. we're doing the best we can today to make sure everyone is safe. really, it was important to me to make sure that while this was going ahead today that it was going to be as safe as it could be. in warwickshire, a busy stretch of the m6 motorway was closed off

shortly after 6pm as protesters occupied the carriageway en route to coventry. the government says it will support peaceful protests so long as social distancing rules are observed, but with police investigations under way, they say the minority of those involved in violence and disorder should expect to account for their actions. sean dilley, bbc news. let's get the latest from bristol now with our reporter paul barltrop. paul, what's the atmosphere like there this morning? it is amazing the transformation thatis it is amazing the transformation that is taking place right now. you can actually see teams of cleaners have been out here since the very first thing this morning. there were lots of placards around and they have been removed and actually taken toa have been removed and actually taken to a local museum and they have been washing off the graffiti that was on the plinth, but, you can imagine the scene here yesterday. thousands of

people roped around the statue, it was hauled to the ground and then physically rolled and dragged down the streets all the way to the harbour nearly a kilometre away from here before being pushed in. edward colston here before being pushed in. edward colsto n ha d here before being pushed in. edward colston had been a divisive figure for many a year in bristol. because he was a philanthropist, he gave extensively to the city upon his death, lots of money was given to things such as almshouses, children's homes, schools and so on, indeed, right where we are standing is in the shadow of a big tower. it is in the shadow of a big tower. it is called the colston tower. they have been calls for years for his name to go. the most devising thing of all was undoubtedly the statue that, and still yesterday, stood on that, and still yesterday, stood on that plinth. they have been calls for it to go, the local mp said she had wanted it out, but no decision had wanted it out, but no decision had yet been taken. that now has happened, the statue is in the harbour, as to whether the police

will really take any divisive action, yesterday they start —— stood back to stop they decided it would be best to keep away, keep on the fringes and make sure nobody was hurt. they didn't intervene. they have said they will gather footage and look at what occurred. obviously pressure from the home secretary, she would like to see them take further action. we will have to see as yet what steps the police take. just to let you know, as everybody, we will be speaking to the mayor of bristol at about 830 here in bbc brea kfast bristol at about 830 here in bbc breakfast with his point of view. and the policing minister will be here also at 730 this morning. loads of guest coming your way in bbc brea kfast. from today, anyone travelling into the uk will have to self isolate for 2 weeks as part of government attempts to slow the spread of coronavirus. the home secretary says the plans are necessary but many industries have warned they will be severely impacted by the rules. our reporter anna holligan is at amsterdam's schiphol airport this morning — but first, let's get more from our transport correspondent tom burridge

who's at stansted airport. tom, how are people there feeling about the rules? similar scenes over in manchester as well this morning. absolutely dead here this morning. i am wearing a mask because it is the new rule. anyone inside the passenger terminal has to cover their face. look at the international arrivals board and people from dublin will not have to self isolate for two weeks because anybody from the republic of ireland is exempt from the quarantine. the second flighty from eindhoven in the netherlands and they will be affected for government affected by the new rules. they should have filled out the public passenger location form online 48 hours, or within 48 hours, before they get into the uk. come and see inside the passenger terminal because it is a bit weird coming in here. this is one of our busiest airports and this is the second week ofjune, and normally you would have people streaming in and lots of people

going through departures, getting ready for trips abroad, moving in at least towards the summer season. under the rules, you will find that people should go via private transport but they could go through the public transport on the stanford express “— the public transport on the stanford express —— sta nsted the public transport on the stanford express —— stansted express was not those of the new rules taking force this morning. thank you very much, it doesn't seem extraordinary going to these airports and seeing how empty they are. thank you. also quotes from the chief executive of heathrow. in terms of numbers, we have stea m of heathrow. in terms of numbers, we have steam —— seen it empty in sta nsted have steam —— seen it empty in stansted this have steam —— seen it empty in sta nsted this morning, have steam —— seen it empty in stansted this morning, normally this time of year, about 220,000 people a day will be going through heathrow and at the moment he was saying, the chief executive heathrow, said between 5000 and 7000. that gives you an idea of the changes that we would normally expect to see an airport packed this time of the morning but very, very empty as we have just seen

at stansted as well. sources close to prince andrew are refusing to comment on —— sources close to prince andrew are refusing to comment on a story to comment on a story in the sun newspaper which claims he could be questioned over his relationship with the convicted paedophile jeffrey epstein. the newspaper suggests the duke of york could be forced to appear in a british court within weeks after a request from the us department ofjustice. he stood down from royal duties late last year following an interview that he gave to bbc news night. dentists in england are able to re—open today, although not all are taking the opportunity. while some are welcoming patients again, other practices blame a lack of ppe for staying shut. danjohnson is at one dental practice in essex that is opening its doors. how is it there today?” how is it there today? i will certainly not be first in the chair, lots of people are in the queue ahead of me, because so many patients have had to wait so many weeks without treatment. this

practice is getting ready, they will be seeing some emergency cases for later today but it will be far from life as usual. they will have to put a screen up life as usual. they will have to put a screen up at reception. they have been doing social distancing in the waiting room but the reality is, you won't actually be allowed in the surgery, patients will have to wait outside, and have to be called in one by one. part of the delay, part of the new procedures will be the intensity of the protective equipment that the dentist will have to use and the cost of that other barriers that some of them have faced in not being able to reopen today. a whole new reality of the way that industry will be done and that means they would normally see 160 patients a day at this prep was, because there are eight treatment rooms, they think they will only see a handful, maybe five or ten. if you just come through here, we can show you the reality of what you are actually going to see when you see a dentist. that is the sort of protective equipment that dentists will have to

wear. wow. quite a surprise if you are going to the dentist this morning. a sign of things to come, i suppose. we will be talking it more later but thank you. thousands of people have joined anti—racism demonstrations across the uk this weekend. the protests, sparked by the death of george floyd in the us, were held in cities including london, bristol and glasgow. lets take a look. this is my deep passion and i am here because i believe that black people deserve the same chance as everybody else. we need to tackle racism and we have never really dealt with that in this country and many countries and there comes a time when we all have to speak up. getting the message across, we just wa nt getting the message across, we just want everyone to unite, this is about everyone.

its time for a change, we need reform, we need education. is a young person, we just feel like, you know, it is happening now and it has been going on for so young and we are just shocked that in 2020, it is still happening. —— for so long. all chant.. happening. —— for so long. all chant. . people may happening. —— for so long. all chant.. people may say it is vandalism but lack people have to walk these streets, black slaves built still, we have to walk these streets and see that statue every day. that public what it means. that statue is a kick in the face to all black people. growing up, it was kind ofan black people. growing up, it was kind of an insult. for it to go, maybe not in this way, but maybe just in this way, for it to go means a lot for me.

we're joined now byjohn apter, the national chair of the police federation. thank you forjoining us and there is so much to talk about but let's start what happened in bristol. i heard the superintendent andy bennett saying we took a neighbourhood policing approach to avoid causing any tension. was that the right approach? it well, public in evian and somerset in bristol in particular will be the judge of that. what my concern is that the representative body of police officers is that police officers are not put in unnecessary danger. to have no police presence there i think sent quite a negative message. i accept that this is incredibly sensitive and the statue which, in fairness, i didn't know much about until this weekend. i have understand they would have been a lot of controversy about this statue for many years. my question is why didn't those in local authority

consider taking this down long before rather than waiting for the actions. i don't agree, and i am a police officer, so i don't support this lawlessness that we saw where the statue was ripped down and rolled down the street and pushed into the river because that is not how we do things, but i understand the anger. but not to have a police presence there isn't something that, you know, i have been a police officerfor 27 years, you know, i have been a police officer for 27 years, and that was a decision that i have not seen taken before. that is very interesting to hear. we know there has been a huge amount of discussion over many yea rs, particularly amount of discussion over many years, particularly around that statue. absolutely. this is why i say that if a statue, you know, there are many things that cause upsetin there are many things that cause upset in communities, but this, about racism, if the anchor is being felt so long by so many —— anger, then i would be really interested later on to hearfrom then i would be really interested later on to hear from the mayor as to why action wasn't taken before. i

ama to why action wasn't taken before. i am a police officer. i am not here to talk about the actions of the local authorities, it is very interesting because what is happening, this is culminating in this sense of anger and let us not forget, these protests were unlawful because we are in the midst of a deadly pandemic where people should not be gathering. i accept that there is an awful lot of anger and frustration, but my real concern and my sadness is that the legitimate message has been hijacked by some who are intent on violence and certainly violence against my collea g u es certainly violence against my colleagues which we saw in london.” wa nted colleagues which we saw in london.” wanted to come to you and talk about what happened in london. we know that police officers were injured. also, what you make of what happened with the cenotaph and the statue of winston churchill and the policing of that? policing in this sort of sensitive situation is really difficult and we are damned if we do and damned

if we don't. i know what the commanders within policing is across the country, a softer approach. this is incredibly difficult to police. there will be many people watching the news, and i have to say the level of violence against my collea g u es level of violence against my colleagues wasn't broadcast on major news channels. the level of violence, and people went to those protests with the intention of causing violence. that was not widely reported on. these individuals have hijacked what was a legitimate concern. in the cenotaph, iam very legitimate concern. in the cenotaph, i am very proud of our heritage and certainly remember those who laid their lives down for us. let's just me as an individual so to see our cenotaph damaged in such a way, it's painful. it's sad and i think many people will lose sympathy with what isa people will lose sympathy with what is a legitimate protest. the

violence level the my officers see, when officers were being injured, just the most vile level of violence and commentators, people stood aside laughing and joking, thinking it's funny, trying to justify this lawless action. people should be ashamed of themselves. there has been criticism of police using the horses over the weekend. horses have been a tactic in public order policing for many years. i would say police forces are very effective or violent confrontational situations but what is the alternative? an awful lot of experts it appears. saying we should use vehicles. police horses are an effective

tactic. thrown from the horse very seriously injured but yet again, people on the sidelines laughing and joking about this incident. it's unforgivable. we accept that. police forces are the best tactic. very highly trained and we should have more police officers, not fewer because when they are used effectively, they can nip things in the blood very effectively. thank you for your time this morning. kit malthouse will be here in about ten minutes' time. let's speak now to paulette simpson, the director of britain's leading black newspaper the voice. thank you so much for being with us. really nice to talk to you. on that pointjust made there to louise, talking about the legitimate message he says has been hijacked by some of the violence we've seen in the

protests. what do you think about that this morning? i think violence is regretful and it's not good that police officers and protesters are injured but by and large, most of the protests have been peaceful and at one stage has been hijacked. perhaps the intent was to hijack and when there are skirmishes, we condemn the let us not yield to those who want to hijack the protest. people have a legitimate right to protest and they should be able to protest on issues that are so deep and so emotional to them and on matters that have been persistent for many years, for decades, so it has reached a boiling point. i'm sure many of our viewers will understand that in listening to that young woman in distal who said every

day when she walked past the statue of edward colston, she felt it was a kick in the face but many will have seen what the prime minister said last night that these protests have been subverted by thuggery and are a betrayal of the cause they purport to serve. what is your response to what boris johnson had to serve. what is your response to what borisjohnson had to say? to serve. what is your response to what boris johnson had to say? yes, i think there is an element that will try to sabotage the protest however, i wouldn't say it detracts from the cause. if you look at what happened in bristol, until yesterday, many people did not know who colston was, they didn't know that he was involved in the slave trade. they didn't know his ships transported thousands of africans to america for slavery and although he gave to bristol, it was really blood money and when you look at the statue, and the inscription on it,

it was to a virtuous and a wise man. what a virtuous and wise man would be involved in slavery. and what is important is the people of bristol have been calling for its removal. in the us, we seem protesters call for the removal of monuments that represent oppression and it has been done. in glasgow a few weeks ago, they changed the name of the street from the person linked to the slave trade so what this tells us is the authorities, the people in government, they need to listen. you listen to the protesters carefully, their sentiments are powerful, they are articulated well, a cross—section of society. thank you for standing with us. continuing to support and campaign for the injustices against black people. on the point of campaigning, we

were hearing from our reporter in bristol about all the other things that are named after colston, there is a school, theatre, roads as well. will you and others be campaigning to change things like that? there is also focus on other statues in the uk like that of cecil rhodes which is in oxford. i saw number people talking about that as well. that's been the subject of numerous debates. what i say to the persons in authority, the people in bristol, think about it. if you have a symbol that causes pain, that reinforces a pa rt that causes pain, that reinforces a part of history that britain is not proud of, should you be doing something about it? why in 2020 are we are having statues and symbols and names of streets that remind us ofa and names of streets that remind us of a very

dark place in history. slavery was one the worst atrocities for in history, and what i would worrying about, the name of the building? we have to start listening and it's because of the lack of listening and action why people feel compelled in a pandemic to go and demonstrate. one young lady said yesterday, she says, i know it's a risk to be here but it's a bigger risk to be here but it's a bigger risk not to create change in our society. there are people who are saying my grandfather and father ought, and the reason i am here is because i don't want my children to fight. how much more can it be for the government and authorities across the world to stand up and listen? —— listen? what else do they need to do? it's important, it's a white —— wide cross—section of people, different social backgrounds, white, black, lots of different people. it's a powerful message from you this morning, what

would the message be to those who vandalised a statue of winston churchill or the young man we showed he was trying to set fire to the flag at the cenotaph?” he was trying to set fire to the flag at the cenotaph? i would say to them, we know that you are angry, we know that you are in pain, we know that you feel there is no other routes to express yourself because people don't really stand up and listen. once it happens, you asked them to leave and go home peacefully. you have tension, you have anger. you have pain, you have emotion. in all the times, you try to contain it. we hope there will be changed so we asked them to restrain and those who go just to do it, i would ask you not to do so. fascinating to talk to you this morning, paulette simpson,

director of the voice. let's continue talking about many of those things. shadow chancellor anneliese dodds joins us. the what is your view? violence and vandalism can never be the answer, as indeed paulette was saying on your programme but we need to be quite clear, the vast majority of those protests were peaceful and really now, what our country is crying out for is a leader who will seek to unite communities to heal divisions, and to save our listening and they understand why people are hurting. in the case of some of what we've been talking about statue, many are calling for it to be removed. one of the local mps called fred to be removed for two years and nothing had happened.

there was a report by public health england showing that black people are more likely to die from coronavirus and not even any recommendations coming by it. people are hurting. let's seek to heal those divisions and unite people and then move forward asa unite people and then move forward as a country. not to run amok. we've seen what's happened in the united states. that is not what we need in the middle of a global pandemic. let's talk about what happened in bristol. and this is from sajid javid. he said he grew up in the store and detested how colston profited from the slave trade but it should done diplomatically and not by criminal damage. as i just said, vandalism, it's not acceptable but let's look into why

that happened. people are called for many years that statue to be removed. it was a visible symbol of slavery, nothing had happened, so i will never condone vandalism but really, we need to understand why that action was taken and try and do something about the discrimination that so many people in our society still deal and is still very visible. it's all around us. let's try and understand that. shifting a process of division. as i said, we can't afford that at a time of the global pandemic, we can't at any time but particularly not now. there is another statue in oxford of cecil rhodes, there has been a huge amount of discussion. what should happen now? there has been a huge amount of

discussion and debate and it's been critically important and one where we've seen a lot of people in the city engaging. we've had a number of changes in the city around visible symbols of colonialism, a lot of changes in our museums to recognise that. they've been productive changes and lead to many people in the city understanding far better that appalling history of slavery. should the statue stay? i can understand why people are concerned about being there. just leaving it there is not helpful. it does reinforce an impression that nothing has changed. a number of proposals about what exactly should be done to it. very vigorous debates around those. i sympathise with the sentiments behind them. we need to have a vigorous debate. and

politicians engaging this as well. a very long time, unfortunately, people haven't been seeing that. also ran discrimination. as i said, around that report, no recommendations coming out of that to deal with the unequal impact of this disease. we need to have that engagement. should the statue say? the cecil rhodes one, for example. should it stay or not? ijust intimated to you that is something that's been discussed for long time. my that's been discussed for long time. my view is it is staying where it is without any other symbol bear which was highlighting what occurred during those awful times. it's not help. these have been vigorous debates within my city as i said, one that involved a whole range of different actors. in opposing symbol. you have others who wanted

to be completely removed. for me, the critical thing is to listen to the critical thing is to listen to the black community within oxford, and those who were directly impacted by this and to understand where they are coming from on this. i'm not going to seek to speak for them. i don't think that would be helpful. should people be fined for breaking quarantine rules? there doesn't seem to be any long—term plan at all from government around this. we understand the calls for a quarantine and indeed we have been asking for a very long time why it wasn't put in place at the same time as other countries during their experience of this disease. we don't have any clarity yet around whether testing is going to be part of this going forward and that is a critical question for us in deed, my

colleague, the shadow home secretary, has been repeatedly raising this. we need some clarity around what the future is for this because the government itself has said it won't continue with this quarantine forever. what exactly is it going to do? it is in —— important for us controlling the disease but for aviation, tourism and everything else. thank you for joining us here. here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. good morning. look at all this cloud. many of us will be seeing cloud. many of us will be seeing cloud not to similar to that today with not much in the way of sunshine. this week, the start of the week will be dry with lighter winds in the end which will be the com plete winds in the end which will be the complete opposite. a lot of cloud around this morning producing showers and it has a few across south—west england and wales. they will ease off and then perk up. those this afternoon could be

heavy and bunbury. eastern scotland, the north sea coastline, showers clearing from the south—east and quite breezy along the south —— north sea coastline. here it will feel cool. temperatures below par. we lose the showers from the south—west cloud around and clear skies and by the end of the night, the cloud will thicken around northern ireland and western scotland, heralding the arrival of the next front. these are overnight lows so not quite as cool as it is first thing this morning was up tomorrow we have our weatherford drifting from the west towards the east across scotland and at times northern ireland, windy around that. for england and wales, looking at a fair bit of cloud today and once againafew fair bit of cloud today and once again a few showers dotted around northern england, wales and central southern england. temperatures tomorrow between ten and 19 degrees. thank you, carol.

hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. it's 7:33. good morning, sally. a bit of an update. we heard from that english and manchester city forward raheem stirling telling us why he acts those taking part in antiracism rallies across the uk and that he of course was to find a solution to racism. by speaking out, he hopes to change football, too, and once more opportunities for those from different backgrounds. speaking to newsnight, he said he will continue speaking out despite his high—profile role in the game.” don't really think about myjob during these times, i think about what is right. there is only so much that people can take, it has been going on for hundreds of years and people are tired, people are ready for change and i see a lot of people

on the socials and stuff supporting the cause but this is something that needs more than just talking, the cause but this is something that needs more thanjust talking, we needs more thanjust talking, we need to actually implement change and highlight the places that do need changes. but this is something that i myself will continue to do and spark these debates and get people in my industry looking at themselves and thinking, you know, what they can do to get people an equal chance in this country. hopefully other industries as well can do that in everyday society and the system as well. raheem sterling speaking to the bbc‘s newsnight programme and you can see the full interview at 10:45 tonight on bbc 2. what a significant few days it could be for manchester city. their appeal against a two—year ban from all european competitions starts a bit later at the court of arbitration for sport. city were found guilty of seriously breaching financial fair play rules and were handed a 27 million pounds

fine as well as the ban by uefa. adam wild reports. cheering and applause. they are one of the richest most successful football clu bs of the richest most successful football clubs in the world today, manchester city began a fight that could shape their future for years to come. theirfate rests not on could shape their future for years to come. their fate rests not on the pitch but with the court of arbitration for sport as they appeal arbitration for sport as they appeal a two—year ban from europe's most procedures competition and all the riches that go with it —— court of arbitration for sport. that is busily a lot of income to miss out on. they have also then got the added pressure of having to play —— pay inflated player wages to draw players in when they don't have champions league to offer. over the two—year period, you are looking at somewhere in the region of £300 million of lost revenue. owned by abu dhabi royalty, make city's wealth had helped them become a driving force in full all but found group —— guilty of a financial

breach of rules, they were hit with a £25 million fine on top of their two—year ban. they have always denied wrongdoing. speaking back in february, the chief executive and soriano said, "we were considered guilty before anything was even discussed. this seems to be less about justice and more discussed. this seems to be less aboutjustice and more about politics". when someone believes he is right, he has to fight in —— until the end and i think that is what the club is going to do, no matter what. football, like most sports, has faced an unprecedented fight recently. now back in training, their toughest battle may one or lost in court. their future and reputation at stake. adam wilde, bbc news. the practicalities of re starting the premier league are now being finalised — as the mayor of liverpool says he's changed his mind about the merseyside derby being played in the city. it's due to take place at goodison park a week on sunday, but there was talk the game, along with other liverpool matches,

could be moved to neutral venues after fears of fans congregating at stadiums. however, joe anderson now says that following discussions with both clubs, he expects fans to follow guidelines and stay away. very, very firm line coming from both clubs. that is what they are all expecting the fans to do.” think there will be interesting, the whole interview with raheem stirling, because the whole thing is on newsnight, tonight. speaking with emily mavis. i have heard more of it and he speaks brilliantly, passionately and clearly. she asks him by speaking out, are you making yourself more of a target? he simply says, i have no option, have to speak up at this point was it is great interview. —— it is a great interview. borisjohnson has said protestors

responsible for violence during anti—racism demonstrations in cities including london and bristol will be held to account. the home secretary branded activists in bristol "utterly disgraceful" for destroying a statue of a slave trader, the cities mayor said he'd couldn't condone criminal damage, but he understood the protesters. meanwhile in london the prime minister said the protests had been "subverted by thuggery" after the statue of sir winston churchill was sprayed with graffiti and an attempt was made to set fire to a flag on the cenotaph. we can speak now to the government minister for crime and policing, kit malthouse. thank you for being with us. can we start with what we saw in bristol? we just read the quote from the home secretary calling it utterly disgraceful. do you think those responsible, and i know the police are looking into it, should they be punished for what happened ? are looking into it, should they be punished for what happened? yes. in what way? a crime was committed, criminal damage was committed, there should be criminal damage,

prosecutions should follow. what do you think from people and we heard from people, as a young black woman, working past —— walking passat statue every day, she felt it was a kick in the face and were attempts to legally remove that statue over the last few years. will that is how we do things in this country. i understand the way she may feel about it. at the same time, there was an elect mayor of crystal, a council in bristol, and it is via those democratic means that we resolve these issues in this country, not by people showing up with ropes and tools and committing criminal damage. we have to have a sense of order and democracy in the country and that is how we resolve our differences, that is how we sort these things out and that is what should have happened. we will be speaking to the mayor of bristol in an hour's time. we will get a response from him. the interesting

response from him. the interesting response from him. the interesting response from the police in bristol, iam sure response from the police in bristol, i am sure you saw yesterday, they we re i am sure you saw yesterday, they were saying it was a tactical decision to the ava and somerset force. they were trying to maintain a low—key response and they felt intervening would only add to the tension. did they make the right decision? i can't second-guess what a frontline police commander would do in a frontline police commander would doina a frontline police commander would do in a particular sentence. i was not there at the time. i don't know how many officers they had at their disposal or what the dynamic of the crowd was or in fact how big the crowd was or in fact how big the crowd was or in fact how big the crowd was at the time. it is difficult to say. where police can prevent crime taking place in those circumstances, of course they should, and i know they would. but where they believe greater violence would result, then obviously they had to have the safety of their officers and of the crowd in mind and proportionately. it is hard to tell from those circumstances whether those officers did the right thing but in the end, he is someone who was putting him and his collea g u es who was putting him and his

colleagues in harm's way to maintain a sense of order and i will support him in doing that. what do you think about the broader debate about other statues, speaking to paulette simpson from the voice talking about other symbols, other step dues, sending a clear message and other people should look at those like the statue of cecil rose in oxford —— other statues. they will be obviously an interest in statues like that. what should the government to be doing about things like that? well, i am not necessarily sure this is a decision for government. this is a matterfor those organisations, whether it is oxford colleges, councils, neighbourhoods, to decide who and how they commemorate in their communities. those are debates that should happen in democratic forum where collective decisions are made and then peaceable actions follow.

what we cannot have is mobs just turning up and deciding to do whatever they feel like against the law. in these circumstances, obviously the police need to make sure that the law is upheld and i am sure that the law is upheld and i am sure in the bristol case, footage will be examined, i know there is an investigation on the way, and those will be brought forward. do you think the cecil rose statute should stay in oxford ? think the cecil rose statute should stay in oxford? what i think is irrelevant. that is a matter for those who live in oxford, those in the college and for them to reach an agreement about it. it is not for me to decide. we have spoken about the issue in bristol and oxfordshire. what about wings that we saw in london yesterday? what do you think about the fine balance between police and protesters? we did see the winston churchill statue defaced and the protester attempting to light to the flag at the cenotaph. what do you ink about the way

the police dealt with the decision there? the first thing to say is obviously the vast majority of people on that march and across the country behaved well. not withstanding the fact that the marchers run a danger of reaching the public health but it is pretty obvious that in london in particular a small group showed up intent on violence and we know that because they came with fireworks, smoke norms and various other pieces of equipment. in those circumstances, the police obviously have to act proportionately with a largely peaceful crowd and make sure they can address the small number that are being violent and i think the police did a good job of that yesterday. when it was required, lease offices were put into place you had protective gear, a disposal order was brought in place later in the evening when disorder broke out. no doubt arrests will follow once

footage is viewed. but overall, i think the policing operation was a success , think the policing operation was a su ccess , yes . think the policing operation was a success, yes. do you think the government would consider banning any future protest marches like that we saw over london over the weekend? well, obviously we made it very clear prior to the demonstrations that they were in contravention of the regulations and that they breached all of our collective duty, individual duty, towards our collective health. would you consider banning them? whether we do ban them or not is a different question as to whether people show up question as to whether people show up or not. take, for example, yesterday. there were no organisers. it was not like a normal demonstration where there was somebody from police to negotiate with in an attempt to try and put wings on the demonstrators or indeed try to deter it. —— things. obviously the police have to respond

appropriately. we were to point out people that it was in contravention of the regulations to show up to these demonstrations and it does breach our individual responsibility towards our collective health. what you mentioned that there is an extra element to this, that the protests, while there are social distancing guidelines and recommendations in place, did what we see over the weekend. are those guidelines, are theyin weekend. are those guidelines, are they in ruins now, do you think? no, i don't think so. i don't think so. it's worth remembering the vast majority of the 65 million people in this country have been extremely compliant in a seeing sense and a staying alert, certainly in my interactions in my constituency and elsewhere, i can see strong compliance with social distancing. the feelings were running very high wallowing that appalling event in the united states

soi appalling event in the united states so i can understand why people might feel the need to come out onto the streets and express their frustration and anger about that event and possibly wider issues but we would stress to people that we do all have to obey the rules. we have an individual duty towards our collective health and we have to restore that sense in this critical moment in the battle of the virus, just as we are starting to win, we can't see the infection rate rise again. the organisers were handing out facemasks and hand sanitiser and lots of people are commenting on the fa ct lots of people are commenting on the fact that police didn't have facemasks themselves. what was the situation around the provision of ppe for the police? can you philistine? so the police have strong and robust ppe ‘s supply lines and all officers have it available to them. it's for individual officers to make a dynamic risk assessment themselves

about how they take up position and use ppe and on that particular occasion, officers decided given the distance, certainly initially, that they may require a face mask. we know transmission rates can below outside, managing to maintain the 2— metre distance and that is frankly for them. later on, once metre distance and that is frankly forthem. later on, once the metre distance and that is frankly for them. later on, once the police did need to get up and personal with those people who were being violent, their helmets were on which included a face visor and allowed officers to stay safe, but physically and from an inflection point of view.” stay safe, but physically and from an inflection point of view. i know you've got to go but thank you for joining us. the covid—19 pandemic has made us appreciate our nhs medical staff more than ever, but the problem of how to retain newly qualified nurses has been an issue for many years. a new bbc one documentary series follows the challenges faced by new nurses at one london hospital — as they decide whether to stay or leave thejob. let's

take a look. 0k, ok, so! ok, so i have actually got some feedback of patient. it's bianca, the lady we did the second 14. katie was an absolutely incredible midwife. she was so natural and i was very midwife. she was so natural and i was very comfortable around katie. i have seen her around a few times and she is always complementing my kids, which is nice. my kids absolutely love her too. the me, it can be very daunting to do a trip for a checkup with a few kids. she always keeps them entertained, she is very professional, and the trip was not frustrating for me at all which sometimes it can be. i thought she was just part of the furniture. if i could say anything to her, i would say please never give up. she is

making such a difference to basin i would hate to think anything would put off, especially because she so gentle in her nature. bless you. there's nothing like getting a bit of personal feedback. katie vaughan and her mentor taz ebenezer who we've just seen, join us now. thank you so much forjoining us. you've been working much longer than katie. how important is it for you to kinda pass on your experience and your optimism? i think it's so important to pass on to 01:50:42,1000 --> 01:50:43,819 katie things i've experienced over the years. coming intoa i've experienced over the years. coming into a profession. katie, this wasn't her first profession. she worked in something else before but she never experience the nhs symphony, it's just a but she never experience the nhs symphony, it'sjust a case but she never experience the nhs symphony, it's just a case of being there for her. there will

be times where she needs more support than others. it's a great scheme. we saw you get emotional at some of the feedback. we like to get you to tell us feedback. we like to get you to tell usa feedback. we like to get you to tell us a bit about how taz has helped you get to where you are. she's helped me massively, just so great and supportive. she passed on so much knowledge, just to be able to help me get through in day—to—day life. so she's given me a lot of help. katie, being with not -- a midwife, you have the greatjoy but it must be nerve—racking as well. how is it for you? it is such a great joy to how is it for you? it is such a greatjoy to be able to experience that to be part of the family giving birth. it's such a privilege to

do that. but it does come with a lot of responsibility. you don't know what is going to happen next. alwaysjust got to be on guard, what could happen and what could immediately really. you say you don't know what's going to happen next and taz, on the point, mentoring somebody at any time is really important at a time when, you know, you and eve ryo ne time when, you know, you and everyone else you're working with is going through this unprecedented situation with the pandemic, does it make it more difficult to mental? are you trying to give advice but you don't know what is happening yourself on some occasions?” you don't know what is happening yourself on some occasions? i think the biggest issue with the pandemic, there are staff that were redeployed areas they were perhaps not used to working in. obviously to support. i think the whole trust, teams have been amazing with what they did and how they all pulled together. from an internal perspective, it's a case

ofjust being there, really. if they are having a bad day. you are right in what they us saying, one of the biggest problems is fear. initially, there was a lot of fear when this started amongst staff so it's just being there to support them but they've all done fantastic. yourjob must have changed during this time, asa must have changed during this time, as a midwife. yes, it's changed a bit. having to wear masks and whatever else we may need. it comes with its challenges. it's a bit different. and making sure you can calm it down. it comes with a lot more fear. that's quite difficult but it's we've all been supporting each other. we work with really good people. it's not been too bad.” wa nted people. it's not been too bad.” wanted to ask you the same

question. you are part of a new scheme, aren't you, designed to keep nurses in the nhs? katie, to you, you got this wonderful mental. will it help with your decision—making, the fact you've got somebody there supporting you? it would definitely help me with my decision—making becausejust having taz there, she doesn't work with me every day in the same unit. she can come wherever i need her. it does really help having someone on the side you can contact and speak about. it doesn't ——it definitely helps. and it is making a difference? yes, massively. the scheme has been in almost three years now. nutrition rate was about 2596 years now. nutrition rate was about 25% and they got it down to around eight so we are keeping a lot more nurses in the first year of qualifying, and

midwives.” nurses in the first year of qualifying, and midwives. iwant nurses in the first year of qualifying, and midwives. i want to ask you both as well, we've officially reached the end of the period where there is clap for our carers on thursday night. as that made a difference to you, that's well swell of appreciation what you and others are doing? it is made a difference. it is kind of surreal. you come out and see people clapping. it's nice to be a part of it, and see your neighbours clap. we are all doing it together. it has made a big difference to know people are supporting you.” made a big difference to know people are supporting you. i agree. it's been lovely to see the hospital as well, the amount of people gathering out of different services, and supporting general to the nhs has been amazing since all this has happened. thank you both very much indeed for your hard work. it's

great to speak to you and if you wa nt to great to speak to you and if you want to see more about them and what's been going on with that particular scheme, ‘saving our nurses' starts today on bbc one at 10am. at the weekend we met 5—year—old tony, who as a new born baby had to have his legs amputated in order to save his life. he set himself the challenge of walking 10km in a month, with the help of prosthetics and crutches, to raise money for the hospital that treated him. later we'll catch up with tony and his family, but first let's have a reminder of his story so far. and we will find out where all that money raised has been going. it ta kes money raised has been going. it takes him longer because people want to chat with him. when you are a superhero, we have to stop to chat to the general public. just like carol when she is out and about. nothing like carol. this morning, quite a bit of cloud around. as we go through

the course of this week. we will see rain at times. today, its showers we are looking at me have some drizzle to get rid of the south—east. that will eventually clear away. we also have the snows of dominating our weather. things relatively settled. a lot of cloud, some sunny breaks as we go through the day that we got showers easing this morning in the south—west and they will come back again as we go through the afternoon across south wales and south—west england. also thundery. for the rest of southern england, variable amounts of cloud and sunny skies, the same to the channel islands. across wales and northern england, the odd shower getting into northern ireland. clipping the north sea coastline at times. as you can also see, a lot of dry weather. it's going to be breezy, particularly along the north sea coastline stop the temperature range, nine in the

north to about 18 in the south. as we move through the evening and overnight, we say goodbye to those showers. a largely dry night. once again, breaks, but with the arrival of the weather front, thicker cloud across northern ireland in western scotla nd across northern ireland in western scotland and eventually some spots of rain. not as cold at night as the onejust gone. in of rain. not as cold at night as the one just gone. in the highlands, temperatures fell below —1 so we're looking at about 25 and 10 degrees. tomorrow, picking up this band of rain, moving the west to east across scotland. a noticeable south—westerly wind with it at times, it will also clip northern ireland. afair times, it will also clip northern ireland. a fair bit of cloud and a spot of rain at times. england and wales, are spot of rain at times. england and wales, a re mostly spot of rain at times. england and wales, are mostly dry day. a lot of cloud around, sunny skies, showers across northern england, wales, central and southern england. now, as we move into wednesday,

good morning, welcome to breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. our headlines today... the prime minister says anti—racism rallies have been "subverted by thuggery" after protesters clash with police and vandalise a statue of winston churchill. in bristol, demonstrators toppled a statue of a 17th century slave trader and threw it in to the harbour. it represents years of hurt, and just a lot of emotions and hatred that have been built up inside of us, that we have internalised for years.

quarantine rules have come into force, meaning most travellers arriving in the uk must self—isolate for two weeks. here at manchester airport, many planes are still grounded and for the first time passengers leaping through this terminal will have to stay where they are going to isolate or why they are exempt. it's monday the 8th ofjune. our top story. the prime minister has said protestors responsible for violence during the anti—racism demonstrations over the weekend will be held to account, after a small number clashed with police in central london. meanwhile, the home secretary branded activists in bristol "utterly disgraceful" for destroying a statue of a slave trader. but bristol's mayor said it's "important to listen to those who found the statue to represent an affront to humanity". sean dilly has the details. chanting: take it down! a grand adornment to a slave trader stands no more, torn down by protesters in bristol,

angry at all it symbolises. that statue represents years of oppression, it represents years of hurt and just a lot of emotion and hatred that has been built up inside of us, that we've internalised for years. and that coming down today, hopefully signifies change, hopefully we've sent a message not just to everyone in the uk or the usa, worldwide. edward colston was historically revered in bristol for his generosity to a city he called home. when he died in 1721, he left his fortune to good causes — a fortune he amassed by transporting and trading in slaves. now these protesters have forcibly removed his likeness, they hope in the process to consign his legacy to a watery grave. the actions have been condemned. there was an elected mayor in bristol and a council in bristol and

it is by those democratic means that we we re it is by those democratic means that we were told issues in this country, not by people showing up with ropes and tools and committing criminal damage. in the capital, this statue of wartime prime minister winston churchill was also targeted. as with the previous day's protests, the mood changed as the day drew to a close. police officers in less protective uniforms were replaced by public order specialists, wearing riot gear. this protester tried but failed to set this flag alight on the cenotaph, where the nation's war dead are honoured. by the end of the day, eight officers had been injured and 12 arrests had been made. the prime minister borisjohnson told his twitter followers that protests had been "subverted by thuggery" which betrayed their cause. chanting: being black is not a crime! the metropolitan police say the majority of protesters passed through the capital peacefully. elsewhere in the country, a similar peaceful atmosphere. we're doing the best we can today to make sure everyone is safe. really, it was important to me

to make sure that while this was going ahead today that it was going to be as safe as it could be. in warwickshire, a busy stretch of the m6 motorway was closed off shortly after 6pm as protesters occupied the carriageway en route to coventry. the government says it will support peaceful protests so long as social distancing rules are observed, but with police investigations under way, they say the minority of those involved in violence and disorder should expect to account for their actions. sean dilley, bbc news. let's get the latest from bristol now with our reporter paul barltrop. paul, what's the atmosphere like there this morning? hopefully we can get him back in a few moments but were having a few problems with the technical linkup but he was going to tell us about some of the other areas and buildings in bristol named after edward colston, and right behind that statute was colston tower where

they have been protests and questions asked over the years about not only taking down the statue but renaming other parts of bristol. we will go back to him in a camp if —— ina will go back to him in a camp if —— in a second if we can. let's hear more about the political reaction to the protests now with iain watson. there has been strong condemnation from ministers about some of the protests. that's right, the policing minister kit malthouse made clear that most of the demonstrators behaved well over the weekend but said they would be pursued where they were guilty of acts of criminal damage, obviously stated there would bea damage, obviously stated there would be a police investigation into the pulling down of the statue in bristol and that video footage was being examined under a particularly strong words last night from the prime minister in that tweet where he said that the demonstrations had been subverted by thuggery and in betrayal of the because they purported to serve. he added that those responsible would be held to

account. he said people could demonstrate peacefully while maintaining a social distancing rules but said it was not ok to attack police. similar, sajid javid talked about what happened in bristol and he said he detested of course the slave trade but it was not ok to do things which should be decided democratically come in other words that people should not take the law into their own hands. home secretary priti patel will be addressing the commons this afternoon and will say much the same thing but these are controversial matters and not everyone in politics agrees. formerjustice secretary richard burgon was saying that those who took down that statue helped to shine a light on, in his view, the fa ct shine a light on, in his view, the fact that british capitalism was built on the slave trade and people had to recognise that to move on. the current shadowjustice secretary, david lammy, said the demonstrations showed it was time for change here in the uk. for the moment, thank you pandit lets

try to go back to bristol again. our reporter paul barltrop is there for us reporter paul barltrop is there for us where that statute was yesterday before being ta ken us where that statute was yesterday before being taken down by protesters and before being taken down by protesters a nd ta ken before being taken down by protesters and ta ken to before being taken down by protesters and taken to the harbour and thrown in. give us an idea, much quieter today obviously but we were talking about the legacy of edward colston in bristol and a number of areas and streets, that power behind you, all named after this man? very much so, such a controversial figure. this plinth stands empty this morning, you can get an idea of what colston meant to the city. on the sign there, erected by the citizens of bristol as a memorial of one of the most virtuous and wise sons of their city. and yet this was a man who made enormous amounts of money from the slave trade, tens of thousands of slaves transported from africa to the west indies. he was a very wealthy merchant and prospered and gave the city a lot of money as and gave the city a lot of money as

a result. that has made him hugely controversial as a figure and made this place a target. you can see this place a target. you can see this morning one of the placards it's still remaining. the cleaners have been out this morning, a lot of the placards have been taken to a local museum where they will be put on display. the statue, having been holed off the plinth with ropes was dragged down the road for nearly a kilometre and pushed into bristol docks. what will happen to that, we don't yet know. but as you said, edward colston, this controversial figure, for a number of years people have been talking about whether his name should be about bristol because as well as the statue, if you look up as well as the statue, if you look up here, colston tower is one of several buildings that bear his name in the city. people have been saying it was time to move on and change get rid of the name some would say has rather besmirched bristol's reputation. as for the statue, the debate about that had raged for a long time and that is now done,

i don't think the statue will come back anytime soon. in terms of the police and the action, they stood by. police and the action, they stood by, there were limited numbers of police and they took the decision that the safest and best thing was not to intervene so it passed off peacefully but they are investigating what they are calling an act of criminal damage. thank you very much, paul. paul barltrop reporting from bristol this morning. should let you know that at half past eight we will be speaking to the mayor of bristol. small weddings and civil partnerships are allowed to take place outdoors in northern ireland from today. larger retailers, including car showrooms and electrical shops, will also be opening up for business again. vulnerable people advised to shield will be also be allowed outdoors. sources close to prince andrew are refusing to comment on a story in the sun newspaper which claims he could be questioned over his relationship with the convicted paedophile jeffrey epstein. the newspaper suggests the duke of york could be forced to appear in a british court within weeks after a request from the us department ofjustice.

he stood down from royal duties late last year following an interview that he gave to bbc newsnight. it is nine minutes past eight. from today anyone arriving in the uk by plane, ferry or train will be asked to self—isolate for two weeks as part of new quarantine rules. so how will it work? shortly we'll hear from our reporters in manchester and amsterdam, but first our transport correspondent tom burridge is at stanstead airport for us this morning. tom, how have these new rules been received? anyone who has been near an airport ata time anyone who has been near an airport at a time like this will know that it is eerily quiet? good morning, yes, really quiet, i'm wearing the mask because it is one of the new rules here at stansted, everyone inside the terminal should cover theirface. we had people coming out a second ago from dublin and everybody arriving from the republic of ireland will not have too self—isolate. they were not have to stay at a private residence for two weeks but the next flight is from

eindhoven in the netherlands and they will have to follow the rules. you come into the terminal and you get a sense, remember that this is the second week ofjune, moving towards the busy summer season and normally this would be absolutely heaving. before you get into the uk now, within 48 hours, there is announcement telling people to keep their distance within the terminal, they will have to fill out the public—health passenger locator form. that is the form online you have to fill out now could in theory, you should get private transport once you get into the airport but if you have to go through those doors and go on to the sta nsted express, through those doors and go on to the stansted express, if the train is your only option, you are allowed to do so. but this is the problem for airlines and the travel sector, nobody is travelling right now. they wa nt to nobody is travelling right now. they want to ramp up scheduled in the coming months and they say these new quarantine rules at another level of uncertainty and therefore people will not be booking, they say put it

we have been speaking to some passengers heading out on that small number of flights leaving stansted this morning, heading to places like portugal and germany. it felt a bit late, to be honest. i don't know why... i think it's fine that they are introducing it but i don't understand why they are did not introduce it earlier this summer, this isolation thing for two weeks. i think it's a good idea. to be extra careful. we need to have those rules otherwise it could, like, you know we could have a second wave and we don't want that. i think it makes no sense because in germany it is a rate less than here and to infect it is more likely here in the uk than in germany so for me it makes no sense. if i come from germany, it's not a risk for the uk so i don't understand. it makes no sense. you can see there are some people here so we will keep our distance but if we went beyond that you would see the jet to area,

the biggest tour operator in the uk —— thejet2 checking area. they are trying to get people booking the point of the portuguese government last week told me that they want british tourist to go there and they are in favour of having one of those deals, called air bridges, which effectively would be an agreement between the uk and countries with lower infection rates. the fact that there are none of those deals currently in place, that this is a near blanket quarantine, that is making the airline sector and the travel sector more broadly very angry. we have seen over the weekend british airways, or the parent company of it, effectively saying that it is launching legal proceedings against the government and they have backing from easyjet and ryanair and dozens of travel and hospitality firms. but the government says the quarantine measures which are taking effect this morning at airports across the uk and at ports and the eurostar and

eurotunnel, the home secretary, priti patel, said it was necessary. she said that as the prevalence of the virus comes down here in the uk, the virus comes down here in the uk, the trouble quarantine is necessary because any case is being imported into the uk would have a much greater impact on the overall prevalence of their bibles and therefore, she says, it is necessary to stop a potential second wave —— prevalence of the virus. we can go to my colleague... this is amsterdam schiphol airport and this is one of europe's busiest travel hubs although you would not necessarily guess by looking at the scene this morning. quick scan of the departures board and there are nine flights heading from this airport the uk and the first one departs for heathrow in about a minute. you can see some of the extra measures in place here, footprints on the floor to

give a guide for social distancing and impact you will see a lot of people are wearing face masks but they are not actually required —— in fact you will see. only at stages in the journey where it is impossible to maintain that level of social distancing to. and there are some exemptions for essential medical workers, haulage workers, and i was speaking to one young chap who had been at sea for eight weeks and he said he had an exemption and me multiple showed forms. there are a lot of people travelling today for various lot of people travelling today for various reasons lot of people travelling today for various reasons who i've been speaking to but they are carrying so much paperwork, aware of the fact that if they travel to the uk, it will be 14 days of quarantine and a fine of up to 1000 euros if they fail to isolate, self—isolate, fine of up to 1000 euros if they failto isolate, self—isolate, or about £1000 in the uk. and if they do return to the netherlands in fa ct, do return to the netherlands in fact, they will also be asked to quarantine again here for another 14

days because as far as the dutch government is concerned, sweden and the uk are still areas of greater risk. the staff are working from behind plastic screens and on—board people are required to wear a face mask. in terms of the enforcement, police, border officials, health officials will be conducting spot checks. i was speaking to one passenger who was flying today about whether he was anxious about getting on board a plane and he said, actually, he was heading to manchester and it was probably safer and cleaner today than ever! in fact we can look at what it means from a business perspective. sean farrington is in manchester. good morning, everybody. it is pretty quiet here at manchester airport. normally there would be 600 flights, getting into peak season, going through at manchester airport at this time of year everything all day

but today there might be ten arrivals and departures. just a couple of flights landing from dublin this morning. those people arriving don't necessarily need to self—isolate for the next 14 days because of the republic of ireland is exempt but all this has to be managed by the bosses at manchester airport group and its having a big impact on the industry as a whole. tricia williams is the chief customer officer here. can you give us an idea of what passengers, air side who arrived into the airport, are having to go through as part of these checks? the new quarantine arrangements came in today, they are managed through our border force colleagues and when somebody comes off a plane and go to immigration control, they have their documentation checked to make sure they have come from where they said they have come from where they said they have come from where they said they have come from and they have a place to go. as weeks understand it, all these checks are carried out by border force and they do spot checks at the forwarding addresses. those flights that have landed from dublin

this morning, in theory those passengers are exempt from the rules so are they having any checks at all about where they have initially started theirjourney? yes, even if you are flying from ireland and it is exempt, they still have documentation checked. this is not the normal scene you would be used to at manchester airport group so how much can impact it having on your business? almost quarantine or not, so few people are flying to. your business? almost quarantine or not, so few people are flying tofi has had a dramatic impact on the business project since april we have lost about 99% of our business so, as you mentioned, we would normally have 600 air traffic movements in manchester on a busy day in june but we re manchester on a busy day in june but were down to about 20 with very few customers coming through. we would like to know how the quarantine arrangements will change and will be relaxed to enable safe travel to happen. do you see jobs at risk in your business? we had his throat this morning saying that there could be 25,000 jobs at risk there pulled

that we know that the airlines have announced thousands of jobs that we know that the airlines have announced thousands ofjobs that will have to go over recent weeks but what about for you? our priority is to protect as manyjobs as we can. we know we will not be immune and the quarantine will significantly impact peoples confidence to fly. the government have omitted to review the arrangements every three weeks and what we want to know is how the review will be taking place —— they have committed to review. then we can understand what systems we can put in place to enable us to protect as manyjobs as we can. put in place to enable us to protect as many jobs as we can. if things like air bridges are put in place, agreements with other governments, would an air bridge with certain countries that enable more people to fly and land and fly out of manchester airport to save jobs in your business? undoubtedly it will. we want to understand how air bridges will happen, when the romeo rate drops in the uk, clearly there are european countries and other parts of the world where the romeo read —— the r rate is

already low. we believe there should be a way for customers to travel safely between two countries where the r value is lower and we want to understand how that can happen so we can facilitate it as best as we can. we have put processes in place here with temperature checking, giving out facemasks to travelling customers. and while we do not know what the processes will be, we will do our utmost to make sure that travel is as safe as possible. if things do not change, can you see yourselves having to escalate what you would do with regard to the government processes and the where the airlines have? the government have written to the government starting legal proceedings so is that on the cards with you? we want to work proactively with them, they have said they will establish a cross industry body to look at the review of the quarantine arrangements to enable safe travel. we want to work with the government and be at the forefront of that work so that we can trial and test processes and get them in place ready for people to

be able to travel safely. and you us an idea on the wider impact of the region? we have seen one taxi leaving this morning, still queueing up leaving this morning, still queueing up hoping for some passengers to arrive. the gmb union warned that regionaljobs could be most at risk so what is the effect of an almost empty manchester airport on the area? manchester airport and our other airports are hugely important to the local economy, supporting tens of thousands ofjobs. weather thatis tens of thousands ofjobs. weather that is taxis or people who work for our own airport, it's usually important. and quarantine will no doubt impact that. that is why we wa nt doubt impact that. that is why we want to work with the government to ensure we can review the arrangements, make sure that in three weeks' time we have in place whatever we need. because of this industry we want to see it get back up industry we want to see it get back up and running. other airports and airlines have talked about a third ofjobs being at risk. could you see that being potentially a similar

scale for yourself? we have taken many steps to cut costs already. we have made sure that we have taken steps to removing contractors from our business, we have all taken a pay cut. we want to try to limit the amount of job losses pay cut. we want to try to limit the amount ofjob losses we would have. we have some fixed costs we cannot do anything about, whether that is 20 movements or 600 movements, we still have to pay for air traffic control, business rates, the police, security. we want to sensibly look at our cost —based. .. security. we want to sensibly look at our cost -based. .. but you can't say no redundancies?” at our cost -based. .. but you can't say no redundancies? i can't say that. christie williams, thank you very much, the chief customer officer at manchester airport group undera tough time officer at manchester airport group under a tough time for the business here and all those who rely on it —— tricia williams. the taxes and the hire cars, all these companies that rely on the tourism and business travel industry put it very quiet here at manchester airport. passengers are now looking to

deal with the new quarantine measures for the first time. real change is afoot. thank you very much. we have trying to answer some of the questions we have all been asking, but when we can travel, and another one is when we can go to the dentist? some dentists in england are able to reopen today, although not all are taking the opportunity. while some are welcoming patients again, other practices blame a lack of ppe for staying shut. danjohnson is at one dental practice in essex that is opening its doors. good morning. good morning. the lucky patients of this practice at least have the possibility of seeing a dentist which will not be an option for everybody but there is still work to do to get it ready. they have been trying to put measures in place before seeing some patients this afternoon. you can see the temperature scanner that will be used for every patient that comes in. the waiting room actually will stay empty because the reality is

that patients will be brought in one ata time, that patients will be brought in one at a time, you will have to wait outside and will not be even allowed to go to the toilet and the dentist will have to use loads of extra protective equipment to keep people safe conduct that has been the hurdle that has kept some practices closed. emma is one of the hygienists here. how is it been for the last few weeks not being able to see patients? it has been really difficult, we have a lot of patience e—mailing and calling us and asking for their routine hygiene appointments but due to the amount of aerosol we produce while doing the blushing, it's something we cannot physically do at the moment. we have to wait an hour between appointments where we are usually back to back —— doing the polishing. the amount a patient we can see has been cut down to about a third and in combination with a cost of the ppe, it means that the hygiene appointments are not financially viable at the moment and it has been a very difficult hurdle to get over. it is just a very difficult hurdle to get over. it isjust emergencies a very difficult hurdle to get over. it is just emergencies at the moment? you won't be seeing

anybody for the routine care? no, not for a routine care. we will try to help patients in pain and discomfort but because we cannot produce the aerosols, it means a lot of what we would normally do to help a patient, we physically cannot do. and you think what you do might not even be possible under the new model, you won't be able to make model? with the current guidelines, it is proving really difficult. the scaling and polishing and the ultrasonic scaler we normally use to get as much build—up off as possible is something we have been limited on using, and they are saying you need tojust hand using, and they are saying you need to just hand scale using, and they are saying you need tojust hand scale and that's actually really difficult, to see a large volume of patients by doing that. it put a toll on the hygienists as well. thank you for now. they would normally see about 160 patient in a day here because there are eight dentist but to give you an idea of why they can only see about ten, if we look in here, this

isa about ten, if we look in here, this is a ppe preparation station now with one of the dentist. took us through the sort of equipment you will have to wear. there's a lot of kit. we have the gowns and hair nets and masks, aprons. it is quite intense and there is a lot to wear and it can get quite uncomfortable and it can get quite uncomfortable and hot. with a cool day today, it's not too bad but with summer coming, it will be even more uncomfortable permit we cannot use the air conditioning unit so it will get even hotter. it's all about stopping the spread of the virus and keeping patients safe? it is to keep us safe and the patients safe also to treat them as much as we can in this difficult time. what will it be like? the waiting lists won't go down? they are probably going up. it is getting even more busy and the phones have started already calling so much but we will see what we can do and do our best with the patients. thank you for your time and letting us be had to get an

insight into what the reality of dentistry will actually be. this is one of about a third of practices across england that is even able to open with two thirds saying they don't have the right numbers are protective equipment and some of the costs of that equipment, dentists are saying it has gone up 6000% bottom i'd once put at the department of health said, "were working round the clock to make sure front line health care staff have the protective equipment they need and we have made further supplies are available to the dental sector by wholesalers last week." it has not come in time for every practice to reopen today and the warning is that even if your dentist is starting to see patients, it will only be possible this week at least the most urgent cases. some people will be relieved to at least get urgent treatment done. we spoke to another dentist who said they were not open today and had to wait for a few weeks. let's have a look at the weather. it does not look great from

what carol was showing us! but a nice beach behind you! it is very nice, more complete, but a lot of cloud and for the next couple of days at least we will have a lot of cloud across the uk. most of us will have dry conditions and light winds but it changes at the end of the week. high pressure in charge today, not many isobars but quite breezy on the north sea coast. most of us will stay dry. a few showers first thing and some drizzle which will clear the far south—east as we go through the morning. summer showers easing in devon and cornwall but later it will pick up again and turn quite sharp in the southern pa rt turn quite sharp in the southern part of wales and also south—west england. a few showers in northern ireland and north—east scotland, clipping the north sea coast. but not all of us will see them. temperatures ranging from nine in lerwick to 18 in cardiff. this

evening and overnight, we say goodbye to the showers in the south—west, still a lot of cloud around some clear spells and as this front approaches from the atlantic, the cloud will thicken in northern ireland and western scotland and by the end of the night we will see some splashes of rain. temperature is not quite as low as they were the nightjust gone. tomorrow, here comes the rain with that front moving from the west to the east of scotla nd moving from the west to the east of scotland with a brisk southerly wind with it and at times at the cloud and rain will clip northern ireland. for england and wales, largely dry, like today, with quite a bit of cloud but some are sunnier breaks and some showers are still looking around northern england, parts of wales and central and southern england. temperatures of ten in lerwick, up to 18 or 19 in birmingham and cardiff. tuesday into wednesday, that front cross of scotla nd wednesday, that front cross of scotland to the east and the other pa rt moves scotland to the east and the other part moves south eastwards across england and wales and this area of

low project develops across us and that normally means unsettled conditions and that is what we have got. the front cross of scotland with the cloud and rain and at the other end, rain going across parts of england and wales and ahead of it, some sharp showers which could be thundery in the south—east. temperatures of 11—17d, just below where they should be injune. moving from wednesday into thursday, this low pressure deepens and will bring some more persistent rain, particularly overnight across the southwest. that rain will be with us during the course of thursday. another front brings rain during the course of thursday. anotherfront brings rain into during the course of thursday. another front brings rain into other parts of england with the driest conditions in scotland and northern ireland but with that keen wind coming from the north or north—east, it will feel cold. thank you, hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. we are going to speak

to the mayor of bristol in a few minutes. interesting to see the response to what happened in bristol and london yesterday. yes, and that statue being pulled down and thrown into the harbour. before that, let's talk to the sport and study. very often i have felt over the years with sportsmen and women, they are not too keen to stray into anything else that isn't a sport, into cultural issues, political issues. and i do feel at every moment that is definitely changing because we saw several antiracism rally is taking place around the uk at the weekend. and one person we have been hearing from this morning is raheem sterling, the england and manchester city forward, about how he is hoping by speaking out against racism, football could change. here is what he had to say. the only disease right now is the racism that we're fighting. i think right now, this is the most important thing,

at this moment in time, because this is something that's been happening for years and years and just like the pandemic, we want to find something, a solution to stop it. and at the same time, this is what all these protesters are doing, they're trying to find a solution and a way to stop the injustice that they are seeing and they are fighting for their cause. really, really interesting. raheem sterling speaking to the bbc‘s newsnight programme there. we'll have more from him in the next hour and you can see the full interview at 10:45 tonight on bbc two. he is hugely eloquent. has lots to say about the subject. i will be watching. thank you. i am sure we will pick up on that tomorrow morning as well. at the weekend we met five—year—old tony, who as a new born baby had to have his legs amputated in order to save his life. he set himself the challenge of walking 10—kilometres in a month, with the help of prosthetics and crutches, to raise money for the hospital that treated him.

in a moment we'll catch up with tony and his family. but first, let's have a reminder of his story so far. this story has really touched us this morning. yeah, it's the story of a wonderful young man. his name's tony, and when he was a newborn baby, he had to have his legs amputated in order to save his life. but that has not stopped him. he saw captain tom walking in the garden with his frame. and tony had a frame like that to start off with, and he said, "oh, i can do that." and then we decided to set this challenge and raise some money for the evelina, that saved his life. we want to raise money. £500. isn't that right, mum? let's go. applause why did you make me do all this stuff?! laughter iam not i am not sure. we will ask.

let's speak with tony and mum and dad paula and mark, who are in kings hill. lovely to see you all. thank you so much forjoining us. you talk to the programme on saturday and since then the fundraising has gone through the roof. how did this all start? yeah. tony was learning to walk on his crutches during lockdown, because we had more time. he saw captain tom on the telly and i thought, actually, i could do that. wejust the telly and i thought, actually, i could do that. we just thought, the telly and i thought, actually, i could do that. wejust thought, we will set up a challenge. it makes us make him walk every day, to go out ona make him walk every day, to go out on a walk on his crutches. it was a bit selfish in respect of that in the beginning. we thought if we had a challenge he would have to do it. we thought we would set up a fundraising page for the evelina, who are absolutely incredible. they have done so much for us. saved his life and will carry on being there for him until he is 18 as well. we

thought £500 would be great. we will have a look alive at the fundraising page ina have a look alive at the fundraising page in a moment. i want to grab a word with tony. tony, talk to us about your plans for today? where will you be walking today? you want to walk in the woods today? yeah. a little walk in the woods. mark, you must be so proud of tony? and just the way his story has touched so many people. in the same way that captain tom has inspired him and many others, but of the differences between doing something and doing something that connects with so many people and want to get involved?” mean, the community have been absolutely fantastic. we go on a walk it takes longer and longer and longer because more people are coming out to watch him. the support he absolutely fantastic.”

understand they want to chat as well, is that right, paula? yeah, absolutely. instead of taking us 45 minutes it is now taking us an hour and a half but it is making it more fun for and a half but it is making it more funfor him. and a half but it is making it more fun for him. he is enjoying everybody coming up and cheering him on. the whole community spirit is just lovely. tony we have a treat for you this morning. is it true you are a chelsea fan? oh, yes. have a little look. we have a message from the chelsea captain, says azpilicueta. hi, tony. everyone at chelsea is very proud of you and what you are doing. you are an inspiration to us all. when things return to

normality, we would like you to come to the training ground and meet all the players. take care and hope to see you very soon. i knew we had a message. and i was pretty excited. i didn't know he was pretty excited. i didn't know he was going to invite you to the training ground. what do you think of that? good. are you excited? yeah. i can tell how much that means to you. paula, you are wearing chelsea blue there. i know it's hard for tony to put that into words, but that will mean an awful lot to him, won't it? absolutely. we are all chelsea fans, the whole family is. it'll be absolutely wonderful to go and see them once we get this lockdown out of the way. something to look forward to. we can see he is raring to go. how far along this challenge are you so far? today will be the eighth

day. he is doing absolutely fantastic. we will be out again this afternoon once he is home from school. and just tell me, because you said at the beginning he was starting to learn to walk on the crutches and a how is that going? yeah, i mean, his walking in the last week has been absolutely incredible. he is so much more confident. he can must run in them when he wants to. itjust depends what he wants to do. if you want to get somewhere, then yeah, really good. tony, i know you know this lady we are going to speak to in a moment. janet powell is the director of nursing at the evelina london children's hospital, where tony's life was saved when he was just five days old. shejoins us now. lovely to talk to you this morning. we have spoken to paul and mark about how they are amazed at the amount of money tony has managed to

make. what has it been like for your end? it's absolutely amazing. i saw him on saturday morning and thought what an inspiring and courageous little boy. and then i saw his t—shirt with evelina and i thought, wow, it's for us. it was really good. really good. we are so proud of him. and we are really behind him all the way. i'm sure he will achieve this some more. he is such a bright little boy. i know you didn't expect the money to be anything like tony has raised, approaching £200,000. you probably haven't even got a clue where you are going to spend that. but what sort of things might that money go towards? spend that. but what sort of things might that money go towards7m spend that. but what sort of things might that money go towards? it is really important. the evelina is growing all the time as a hospital, treating children with long—term conditions. we always need the best innovations in medicine and technology. and equipment for parents and to expand our hospital.

as i've said to paula, there are so many things this money will do. it's just tremendous. i want to come back to you paula and mark. tony has lots of things he has got to do today, like going to school. tell us a little bit about how important... if you need to go! tell us a little bit about how important the evelina has been to him? it has been life changing, hasn't it? oh, absolutely. it's our second home. we are always there. various appointments. he is under various different consultants in the hospital. it is notjust one area as well. they are just absolutely incredible. all the staff are so lovely, so kind, anything you need, they just sort are so lovely, so kind, anything you need, theyjust sort out. and, you know, this money will get state—of—the—art equipment. tony will need to face long term. he will certainly be at the evelina until he

is 18. he still needs various other operations as well. we just know he has the absolute best care. wonderful to hear. i want to show you all what's happening on tony's page at the moment. the live page is now £187,000. that has gone up a couple of thousand pounds while we have been talking to you guys on air. mark, people have been so incredibly generous in supporting tony? it has been absolutely fantastic. for such a wonderful cause. yeah, we are so pleased and so proud of him. tony, it's very tiring, all this chat about the walking, isn't it? are you planning another walk today? are you planning another walk today? wa ke are you planning another walk today?

the city's mayor said he couldn't condone criminal damage, but he understood the protesters. meanwhile, in london, the prime minister said the protests had been "subverted by thuggery", after the statue of sir winston churchill was sprayed with graffiti and an attempt was made to set fire to a flag on the cenotaph. in the last hour, the minister for crime and policing told breakfast he disagreed with how protestors had behaved. there was an elected mayor of bristol, there was a council in bristol, there was a council in bristol, and it is by those democratic means that we resolve theseissues democratic means that we resolve these issues in this country, not by people showing up with ropes and tools and committing criminal damage. we have to have a sense of order and democracy in the country. and that's how we resolve our differences. that is how we sort these things out and that is what should have happened. let's speak to the mayor of bristol, marvin rees. good morning. we have heard they

are from kit malthouse. what is your response? he said it should have been solved by democratic means? yeah, iagree been solved by democratic means? yeah, i agree with that. as an elected politician we cannot condone criminal damage. i will be raising my concerns about the pandemic as well, the mass gathering. but what politicians and journalists need to do now is not allow the story to become simply about a statue being pulled down. this is about a wider issue of race inequality and in particular, but also about people's wider frustrations with a political system they believe has lost touch and is not speaking for them. let's just talk, if you would, because we know there has been a lot of discussion about this particular statue to edward colson. there have been petitions. tell us about the kind of feelings about that statue being there? i can tell you my feelings about it. i think they'll be shared by many people. i'm a mixed race child of a welsh english

white woman and a blackjamaican father. way back when one of my a ncestors father. way back when one of my ancestors would have been taken on the ship from africa to the caribbean. and that statue is an affront to me. and there is a plaque on it as well that describes him as a wise and virtuous son. that is a double edged sword. so yeah, it's not something that i as a bristolian would have looked on with pride and it has been a point of debate in the city about how and when, whether it should be there at all. and on that point of debate, we know there have been many thousands of people signing signatures, i mean, real discussion. do you think it could ever have been resolved in any other way? that i don't know, actually. you know, in terms of my list of priorities coming in is elected mayor and tackling racism, what i am focused on is building homes, trying to make sure people have access to senior positions in the city, all

those ways that we drive social mobility into our daily life, that is what we focused on. whether the political system in and of itself could have taken the statue down, i'm not quite sure. and also, give us an idea, because there are many other things named after him in the city, including a tower, i understand a school, a road, an avenue, what about them? well, again thatsomething for the city to discuss. —— that is something for the city to discuss. there has been alive consultation in bristol for 20 or so years now. bristol only started to talk about its relation slip to slavery by 20 years ago. —— relationship. that conversation will probably go up a few gears and we will see what comes out of it for the city. would we have to hold a few things together. we had a statue up few things together. we had a statue up to someone who made his money buying and selling people. that

statue is now under water, which is a piece of irony, historical irony, because undoubtedly people would have been thrown off the sides of ships during thatjourney themselves and there will be many african bodies at the bottom of the water themselves. at the same time we are ina themselves. at the same time we are in a city where some people find the tearing down of the statue problematic for them. they feel they are losing purchase with their ownership of bristol, their place in the city. and for them it is a sense of loss. and for political leaders, asa of loss. and for political leaders, as a political leader is myjob to understand all of those viewpoints and bring the city together in the face of those clashing understandings. what happens to the statute now? is that even been decided? we will get it out of the harbour when the resources become available. it may end up in the museum. we have also been

collecting some of the placards put around the plinth as well, because that is part of that historical moment in bristol. when i say historical moment, i don't want to be misinterpreted. it is not a condoning of criminal damage. i'm in no way doing that. but whether you like events or not like events, when they happen, they are historical. it is up to us to make sure we this moment forfuture is up to us to make sure we this moment for future generations to understand the journey bristol has gone on. where the police right not to intervene? i think our police we re to intervene? i think our police were incredible, actually. this is intelligence, nuanced policing. not champion domination. we had a police force with a huge crowd in front of them, with lots of energy, passion and frustration. we didn't have the violent confrontations we had in other cities. what we had was a statue turned down. i think the trade—off was the right one. it speaks to the importance of respecting and recognising

local leadership with local police able to make intelligent decisions on the ground rather than making pronouncements from westminster and whitehall designed to make it look like you are the leaders of law and order. that is not the way to run the country. our police force here handled the situation excellently. damage was limited to the statue. and very few arrests were made. i think people feel they have had an expression. it could have been a lot worse and it wasn't a lot worse because of how the police handled the situation. there are other controversial statues in other places. do you think people will start reflecting on them and what would you say? well, i hope so. our statues a re would you say? well, i hope so. our statues are there to honour people. there is a debate about who we choose to honour. that is always a debate worth having. now debate should ever be finished. we should be constantly wrestling with who we are and where we have come from and what events mean both in the moment and historically. otherwise the whole profession of historian dies.

that is what we should be in the business of doing. and certainly now that conversation will have gone up a few notches. thank you very much for your time. really interesting. lockdown has thrown many wedding plans into question across much of the uk, but there's good news for couples wanting to say "i do" in northern ireland. from today, marriages will have to take place outside and only 10 people will be able to attend. our ireland correspondent chris page is at one venue in county down this morning. good morning. good morning. yes, we would usually be at the height of the wedding season at this time of the wedding season at this time of the year but many couples have faced the year but many couples have faced the uncertainty of not knowing whether they would be able to get married at all. now here in northern ireland though they know that if they will. weddings will be restricted to ten people and they have to be outdoors. the couples deciding to go ahead say it will not spoil anything. i

am just outside downpatrick. couples get married on top of the hill. that's where they make their vows in the presence of the guests. you can imagine them coming down here to this beautiful lakeside for photographs. i am pleased to say i am joined by one of the brides who will be tying the knot here very soon. lisa, good morning. good morning. you got engaged to your fiance josh morning. good morning. you got engaged to your fiancejosh during the lockdown? yes, we got engaged on the lockdown? yes, we got engaged on the 8th of april. how are your plans going for your wedding injust the 8th of april. how are your plans going for your wedding in just a few days? so we initially didn't plan to have a long engagement anyway. whenever we got engaged i had the idea in my head of the 26th ofjune. i think we just prayed that god would make a way and so the day before we came down to view the venue, the restrictions were slightly lifted. it is perfect for us. it has worked out well for

you. the fact it is restricted to ten people, what sort of a day are you expecting? every small and intimate day. i don't think it will last any length of time. we are coming down here at about two o'clock. the ceremony at half past two. i would imagine we would be finished by about seven —ish. that will be time well spent with the people close to us. some other couples have said that having a small intimate wedding day will actually make it all the more special. is that something you would say? yes, absolutely. i think so. it is the most important people who are going to be with us on that day. they will not be crowds of people to get around, making sure everybody is ok. we are putting the facility and for streaming as we have some family in australia and canada, and for anybody else who can't be here, they can be in the room via the screen. we hope you have a fantastic day. all the best to you and josh the wedding and many yea rs of to you and josh the wedding and many years of happiness that no doubt await you. thank

you. let's talk to edge, who owns this wonderful venue. the fact that weddings can go ahead after a gap of a few months, what differences are making to you? after a gap of a few months, what differences are making to you ?m after a gap of a few months, what differences are making to you? it is a positive step in the right direction. we are delighted to be opening our doors to the likes of lisa and josh and other couples for these small intimate ceremonies. we are lucky we have an outdoor space. we have got a very flexible teepee structure we can use, so it is indoors bodies is really actually outdoors because these sites are lifted. it is safe, it is romantic, it is unique. so yeah, we are delighted to get going in a small way. yeah, the fact that weddings can go ahead now here in northern ireland, one of a number of restrictions being lifted, retailers can also open. over the border in the irish republic, things are going quicker. do you hope that ministers in the devolved government would speed things up

too? absolutely. we are waiting with baited breath to see what happens today once they have met. we hope they will get behind what the south are doing and that would be a really positive step, to save our season, maybe get bigger weddings going in september and october. that would be a huge bonus at this stage. good to talk to you. the focus very much now here on weddings coming back and let's face it, it has been a lonely spring in many ways. but it feels like a summer of love may be beckoning for the people who may be tying the knot here. i love the way you say that! lovely. many congratulations to everybody. excellent use of the long microphone! 2020 was supposed to be a big year for cheshire band the ks. before the pandemic, they had sold out shows

and festivals booked across the uk. but all of that was put on hold when coronavirus hit. for the band's bassist, that has meant going back to his old job, working as a mental health nurse for the nhs. and we can speak to dexter baker now. thank you very much for talking to us. great to have you on the programme. iam us. great to have you on the programme. i am sure us. great to have you on the programme. i am sure it is the same for you as it has been for many people, 2020 has not quite worked out as you plant it? yeah, it's been a little bit unprecedented, hasn't it? this is not what we planned at all. like you mentioned, we made effo rts all. like you mentioned, we made efforts to put all our energy in the band. we all quit work and stuff and next minute we have a global pandemic. ok! so immediately things started being cancelled. when did you think you might get back to work? well, i was talking with my

managers and i was work? well, i was talking with my managers and i was unsure work? well, i was talking with my managers and i was unsure about whether i was going to go back to work or not. but obviously the lockdown happened. we spoke with our booking agent and realised we would not get out any time soon so i took the full—time post again to help out. i think it was in april i went back full—time. tell us what you do? i'm a community mental health nurse, soi i'm a community mental health nurse, so i work for the treatment team, provided —— providing intervention at home or hospital admissions. you are working on an incredibly worthwhile part of the nhs. i would imagine it must be quite a... one of those jobs where you think you are making a difference to people? definitely. i get a lot ofjob satisfaction. that is why i do it more than anything. being able to help people. being able to help vulnerable people as well who may not be able to help themselves. it is very rewarding. do they know about your musical talent as well?” think some of them do. i try to

not mix business with pleasure, if you know what i mean! absolutely! people you are dealing with were having a tough time anyway. how has the last few months affected them? yeah, it is affecting us all, isn't it? as you can tell. but especially the people with mental health issues who are vulnerable. they may be need that social interaction or somebody to talk to, somebody to go and see. it is affecting them massively. we are seeing people are coming at a crisis more frequently now. i can imagine that is lovely as well. you are on the front line, as it were. someone else from the band has been pretty ill. what is it been like for them and the rest of you? yeah, it was very them and the rest of you? yeah, it was very scary. we finished a sold—out tour in march, liverpool, and the lockdown started two days later. we were lucky we managed to get that in. two days after that the guitarist, ryan breslin, fell in with the virus and ultimately led to hospital admission. i we were very

worried for him really. it hit on. he is ok now. he is fighting fit.” understand you have been writing, even though you are in lockdown. how do you do it? we have a group what's up do you do it? we have a group what's up between the band. ryan breslin andjamie up between the band. ryan breslin and jamie boyle wrote a song released in lockdown. we recorded it at home on the computers and sent it to one of the producers that we work with to mix. we managed to get it out. that is pretty impressive to do that while you are doing a full—time job as well. are you worried? you seem pretty level—headed about it all. is the plan, i suppose like for the rest of us, when things return to normal you will hopefully get back to working full time with the band as well —— again and things will take off when we return to some kind of normality? of course, that's the plan. when that is, i don't know. but i definitely want to try to put everything back into the musical career. and quite of the

day job! lovely to speak to you. thank you so much. thank you for the opportunity. thank you. dexter becker. it does not say his name behind him! it says bake. he has not got his own name behind him. behind him! it says bake. he has not got his own name behind himm behind him! it says bake. he has not got his own name behind him. it says bake. i've turned it round so you can read it though! thank you. that's all from us this morning. before you go, let's give you an update on little tony's fundraising. look at that. £207,000. you are wonderful. he was aiming for £500. thank you for your support. thank you for watching. we are back tomorrow from six. have a lovely day. bye—bye.
